When Mojo Morgan walks into a studio, the cannabis ritual is already underway. For the reggae artist, herb is no escape but a compass, guiding him toward authentic melodies and lyrics. He calls it a tool for creativity, balance, and emotional clarity. Whether writing, vibing with a riddim, or cooking, his cannabis ritual slows the noise down and opens a lane for inspiration.
A founding member of Grammy-winning Morgan Heritage and son of reggae pioneer Denroy Morgan, Mojo carries a family legacy deeply tied to the cannabis ritual. With his debut solo EP Jamaica Love, he honors the torch lit by his father and brother Peetah Morgan while shaping his own sound. He speaks openly about how herb has always been part of reggae’s truth-telling and consciousness, and how the cannabis ritual fuels his art.
In Jamaica, cannabis is inseparable from culture, not only for Rastafarians but as a symbol of resilience and healing. Growing up around medicine, sacrament, and soil, he sees the cannabis ritual as a cultural carrier. It’s also a call to ensure that Jamaica and its farmers benefit from legalization while keeping roots and rituals intact.
Mojo’s sound, which he calls Rasta Rock, bends genres like reggae, hip hop, Americana, and rock. This freedom mirrors the cannabis ritual, which refuses to be boxed into stereotypes. On songs like “In The Morning,” he brings the cannabis ritual into sharp focus, showing how herb unites creativity across genres and generations.
Beyond music, Mojo’s 200-acre farm in Bath, St. Thomas, and his Mojo’s Food Product line extend the cannabis ritual to food, farming, and community. For him, cannabis is not just consumption but sharing, reasoning, and lifting each other up. It’s a family celebration woven into his kitchen, his land, and his sound.
With Jamaica Love, Mojo Morgan shows how the cannabis ritual binds together memory, culture, and the promise of what’s next. His work invites listeners to experience herb not as a trend but as a tradition — a cannabis ritual of creativity, spirituality, and connection.
