With all the turmoil in different parts of the world, it was not difficult for roots singer Ras Kronik to write a song addressing global tumult.

That song, The Way to Life, was recently released. Produced by former UB40 trumpeter Patrick Anthony, it is enhanced by a graphic video filmed in Las Vegas, where Ras Kronik lives.

“All the bad things happening around the world, I had do a song like this. Five years later, its still relevant,” said the Clarendon-born artiste.

The Way to Life is a precursor to Ras Kronik’s second album which is also being directed by Anthony, who recorded and toured with UB40 for over 10 years.

Wild And Free is the title of the set which is expected to drop in the first quarter of this year.

Ras Kronik, who has been a recording artiste for 20 years, released his first album, The Real Thing Remix, in 2013.

Known for songs such as The Original Lick and More Than Gold.
