Don’t call it a comeback — more like a return to the righteous roots that nurtured him. Legendary Heavy D, (Dwight Myers) has found himself with one of the country’s hottest new reggae albums, Vibes, released on his own Stride Ent. Label and distributed by Universal Music executives’ Monte and and Avery Lipman’s UMG brainchild, Federal Distribution, in conjunction with UMG owned subsidiary Fontana Distribution. Renowned record executive Jordan Katz is overseeing Federal Distribution and the rollout for Vibes.

Hev’s new album currently owns the #2 spot on the iTunes Reggae chart. Propelled by the top-requested single and digital favorite, “Long Distance Girlfriend,” the album has become a mainstay of Reggae playlists after only a month of release. Currently, the new album is available in digital-only format. The physical album will be released on December 16th across the U.S. “The aptly named ‘Vibes’ has wonderful music and lyrics that will take Hev’s fans and new listeners on a beautiful journey from start to finish,” stated Mr. Katz.
