OLDIES SUNDAY: Fantan Mojah – Hail The King (2004)

On July 14, the Reggae world lost another Ambassador, Recording Artist Fantan Mojah. Since the 2000s, Mojah was one of the strongest voices in Reggae, delivering solid music, and taking the sounds to various parts of the world. He will be missed by many, and on “Oldies Sunday“, we pay a small tribute to him and his music. Today, we go back in time to check out, “Hail The King“.

Produced by Black & White and released through Downsound Records in 2004, it was all about gratitude to the Creator in Fantan Mojah’s “Hail The King”. The track found Mojah giving thanks from the moment he rises, and emphasizes that it takes nothing to do so. A song that was made to tap into one’s spirituality, Mojah put his all into the recording, and it was well-received. “Hail The King” enjoyed chart success, and held a major part in Fantan Mojah’s sets, with most times closing those sets. The track was featured on his 2005 debut album of the same name.

Since the release of “Hail The King”, Fantan Mojah went on to gain more success as a Reggae Artist with a number of hit singles. He experienced some decline in the later years, but was still heavily booked overseas. He had some health scares as well, but on July 14, 2026, he would suffer heart complications, and passed away at the University Hospital of the West Indies. Despite the loss, his music will continue to live on, with many still rising to “Hail The King”.
