About the tour, Gramps commented:

“I am so happy to reach this point, to be able to represent the album I worked on for so many months. It’s a great challenge and I also feel blessed to be on the road with Buju! He’s a great performer – it comes right from the heart and I can relate to that as there is no other way for either of us to do music .”

A magical combination, Gramps and Buju have collaborated in the past on their smash hit single ‘The 23rd Psalm’ and again for the follow up ‘Power of Prayer’ featured on Gramps Morgan’s solo debut-album 2 Sides of My Heart Vol. 1. In support of the album Gramps also heads to Europe for a promotional tour in the UK; more TBA.
