Omari Edwards takes on Hill & Gully Ride

...honours Kukudoo in latest single

Recording artiste Omari Edwards has officially entered the conversation with his uplifting and culturally grounded new single God Is Good, featured on the Hill & Gully Ride rhythm produced by acclaimed producer Stephen McGregor.

The release also stands as a tribute to late artiste Kukudoo, a respected figure within Jamaica’s music fraternity and a big brother figure to Edwards.

God Is Good is a heartfelt expression of faith, gratitude, praise, and perseverance, deeply rooted in Jamaican culture and everyday life. Drawing inspiration from both biblical symbolism and the realities of the Jamaican experience, the single highlights God’s unwavering presence through every season of life.

In the Bible, hills and valleys are often used as powerful metaphors representing triumphs and challenges, victories and struggles, the song mirrors this message, reminding listeners that God remains committed to His people regardless of life’s changing circumstances.

With soulful delivery, Edwards captures the spirit of the people who hustle daily, make sacrifices for their families, and navigate both good days and difficult ones. The “hill and gully” concept becomes symbolic of life itself.

God Is Good serves not only as a musical offering, but also as a cultural and spiritual reminder of the importance of faith, resilience, and thanksgiving in modern Jamaican society. The track embodies the rich history, folklore, and uplifting spirit of Jamaica while encouraging listeners to remain hopeful and grateful despite life’s obstacles.

The single follows Edwards’ earlier release, Winners Anthem, produced by Da Journey, further showcasing his commitment to creating inspirational music that connects with the hearts and realities of everyday people.

Now generating conversations among music lovers, cultural supporters, and gospel-reggae audiences, Edwards delivers a refreshing and meaningful contribution to the growing Hill & Gully Ride movement while honouring the legacy of Kukudoo.

Gospel singer David “Kukudoo” McDermott passed away early May at the age of 56.
