The Wailers Trio released Rastaman 50 through VP Records on Friday, November 13, 2026. The 12-track release brings together Blvk H3ro, J Written and Dahvid Slur, with appearances by Cen’c Love. It marks 50 years since three landmark 1976 records: Bob Marley & The Wailers’ Rastaman Vibration, Peter Tosh’s Legalize It and Bunny Wailer’s Blackheart Man.
The track list gives listeners a way into each of those catalogues. J Written takes on the title track from Rastaman Vibration, Dahvid Slur sings Tosh’s “Legalize It,” and Blvk H3ro handles Bunny Wailer’s “Blackheart Man.” The set also reaches back into earlier Wailers material with “Soul Rebel” and “Cornerstone.”
A useful first listen is “Fig Tree,” where Blvk H3ro and Cen’c Love revisit a song from Blackheart Man. Cen’c Love is Bunny Wailer’s daughter, and her part in the tribute extends to “Dreamland” and “Cry To Me.” Start with those three tracks to hear how the project carries Bunny Wailer’s work across generations.
The project’s 1976 focus was outlined by music executive Maxine Stowe in the Jamaica Observer’s October 29 report. The November 13 release date and credits are confirmed in the current VP Records listing on Apple Music.
