Belize act PUPA CURLY now out with his new full-length album titled GRIOT

The Belizean born veteran Reggae music artiste Pupa Curly has released his long-awaited full-length album GRIOT and new single “Gone Away” available now on all digital outlets, featuring an incredible supporting cast, including Eljai, Sweet Tea and E-Dee.

The album is produced by Carl McGregor of Diamond Mine Studio in Los Angeles.  The album is the first full-length project from the artist in over two decades.  Released on the Tuff Kruffy Entertainment label, the album is distributed worldwide by Gorilla Status Records.  The hit single “Money” released last year, distributed by Tuff Gong International is among the fifteen solid tracks on this album.

The origin for “Gone Away” is a serious reflection on this year of many challenges and personal loses. “This song was inspired by the untimely passing of loved ones and friends over the past year due to COVID-19,”Pupa Curly shared.
