Micah Shemaiah has never shied away from putting fire in his message, and “Hell A Go Pop” is another reminder why he’s seen by many as one of the real frontmen of modern roots reggae. Together with French band The Ligerians and Irie Ites Records, the singer delivers a tune that rides on a timeless riddim, heavy basslines, and melodies that stick in your head.

The song, a cover of the 1984 track by Cultural Roots, comes as a militant prayer, calling out the dark forces that weigh on society and urging people to rise up and hold firm to their values. It’s raw, direct, and rooted in the same tradition that carried reggae’s strongest voices through the years, yet it speaks clearly to the present.

Released September 5, 2025 on Irie Ites / Evidence Music, the track is backed by an official video on IRIE ITES REGGAE TV that underlines the urgency of Micah’s words.
