Dukes of Roots return with “Stoner’s Paradise,” a soulful roots reggae anthem celebrating freedom, unity, and the peaceful high that comes from positive vibration. Fronted by the powerful vocals of Mermans Mosengo and built on the foundation of reggae legend George “Fully” Fullwood on bass, Courtney “Bam” Diedrick on drums, and T Rod on guitar, the track blends timeless roots traditions with a fresh, modern sensibility.
More than an ode to the herb, “Stoner’s Paradise” is a meditation on consciousness, connection, and building your own version of paradise. “The song isn’t just about the herb, it’s about connection and creating your own sense of paradise,” the band shares.
The release follows Dukes of Roots’ standout performance at Rototom Sunsplash’s 30th Anniversary in Spain, marking the beginning of a new creative chapter that includes upcoming international performances and a forthcoming album.
Dukes of Roots is an intergenerational collective of singers, songwriters, musicians, and producers dedicated to celebrating roots reggae with a universal voice. Their music, Jamaican in origin but global in scope, is shaped by decades of experience and worldwide influence.
With “Stoner’s Paradise,” Dukes of Roots deliver an anthem grounded in authenticity — a warm, uplifting reminder of why roots reggae continues to resonate across generations and cultures.
