Roots-reggae artiste Mr Cool, a proud native of St Elizabeth, is making his long-awaited return to the scene with a brand-new single, Come Know Your King, set for release on August 21.
Known for his strong moral compass, Mr Cool has built a career on creating music that uplifts rather than degrades. He avoids glorifying guns, drugs, or violence, and is careful never to be disrespectful to women — a stance that has earned him respect from fans and peers alike.
His latest release, Come Know Your King, is a heartfelt acknowledgment of Emperor Haile Selassie I as the ‘king’ in the Rastafarian faith.
Laid over a relaxed yet captivating reggae rhythm, the song blends spiritual depth with an infectious groove, promising to connect with both long-time reggae lovers and new listeners.
With Come Know Your King, Mr Cool is once again channelling reggae’s roots; conscious, uplifting, and deeply connected to spiritual truth.
Fans can look forward to a release that reaffirms his place as one of Jamaica’s authentic voices in music.
Mr Cool’s journey began at the tender age of six, singing alongside his mother in church. Those early experiences nurtured his vocal talent and stage confidence. He later transitioned to the dancehall scene as a DJ, which led to his first recording in 1984.
Over the years, he has released two albums — It’s Raining and Serious Times — and built a reputation as a prolific songwriter. His greatest influences are the late, great Robert Nesta Marley and Bob Andy, artistes he admires for the powerful messages embedded in their music.
