Exco Levi joins Julian Marley and King Cruff on Easy Now

Exco Levi has landed a rare Marley family co-sign on Easy Now, pairing the Juno-winning singer with Julian Marley and King Cruff on a track that ties reggae lineage to a modern, border-crossing release.

The single arrived on May 22, 2026, and its credits put Levi alongside Julian Marley, Bob Marley’s son and the 2024 Grammy winner for Best Reggae Album with Colors of Royal, and King Cruff, the Jamaican-raised, Toronto-based grandson of Bob Marley. For Levi, it is his first collaboration with any of Bob Marley’s children or grandchildren, a milestone that carries unusual weight in a genre where family names still shape how records are heard.

The song’s creation matched that lineage with a transnational studio trail. Kheilstone, the Grammy-nominated US-based producer behind the beat and concept, set the foundation before Crawba Genius linked the track to Julian Marley. Levi laid down his vocals at home in Canada, King Cruff recorded his part in London, Ontario, and Julian cut his contribution in Miami. That split-city process gave Easy Now a contemporary feel without pulling it away from reggae tradition.

The record’s message is straightforward: slow down, treat yourself better and remember that life can move too fast. That reflective tone gives the song more than a feel-good hook. It positions Easy Now as a moment of self-check as much as a collab record, which is part of why the project lands with more depth than a simple family-name feature.

The release also arrives at a strong point in Levi’s career. He moved to Toronto in 2005, released his first Canadian single, Oh Canada, in 2007 and has since become one of Canada’s most decorated reggae artists. His run includes four straight wins in JUNO’s Reggae Recording of the Year category for Bleaching Shop, Storms of Life, Strive and Welcome the King, a streak that set him apart in the Canadian scene and made his voice a natural fit for a track built on both message and pedigree.

Kheilstone’s newly launched imprint, Audovic Nation, said Easy Now is leading its first wave of releases, with UnitedMasters handling distribution. That gives the single another layer of significance: it is not only a Marley-adjacent collaboration, but also the opening statement for a new label push built around reggae reach and cross-border connection. For Levi, the real story is how neatly Easy Now brings those worlds together.
