Exco Levi - Country Man (2015)

Following in the footsteps of his father, who is himself a sound system DJ, Exco immediately began pursuing music as a career. He soon realized that his gift for writing significant and timely lyrics, and weaving those lyrics with song, had the potential to make him a top reggae artist. He has released three full-length albums, Country Man (2005), Narrative (2018) and Black Creek (2021), with Country Man in particular being recognized as a global contemporary reggae essential.

“I still maintain my roots as a rural country man,” Exco Levi proclaims on My Life Story, the opening track of his new album, Country Man, but Levi maintains his roots on many levels, probably best exemplified by his choice of profession. Reggae music runs in his family. He grew up watching his father deejay in the 1980’s for a local sound system out of Clarendon, Jamaica called Super Soul. Although his father never made it big as an artist, Exco took what his father gave him and ran with it to places that no reggae artist had been before.
