Mojo Morgan on Losing Peetah, Morgan Heritage 2.0 and Why They Almost Never Came Back
The sudden passing of Morgan Heritage lead singer Peetah Morgan left the reggae world reeling, but for his brother Mojo Morgan, it sparked a spiritual awakening. On this episode of Dam Yankee with host Zack Newmark, Mojo reveals the family band almost retired until Gramps Morgan received a supernatural message while grieving in the Philippines. His resilience drives Mojo's sharp critique of mainstream music, which he argues is failing audiences by prioritizing luxury over substance. Pointing directly to Beyoncé, Mojo delivers an unfiltered rebuke of modern chart-toppers. "She's not delivering a message that is uplifting in terms of trying to make people make better decisions," he remarks. "And some of the biggest names in music today, their music has no purpose. It's just about enjoying the finer things in life." Morgan Heritage almost did not come back after losing their brother Peter "Peetah" Morgan in 2024, Mojo confessed. One of the most beloved members of the group, acknowledged by John Legend among others as one of the greatest singers across all genres, Peetah passed away in his mid-40s while the band was still at the height of their powers. Within a month Mojo knew they had to push through the pain or risk losing everything they had built together. To keep everyone on track and focused on the importance of having a message and purpose, Mojo now passionately mentors the next generation to help them avoid the pitfalls of early fame. Reflecting on his own high-profile career and the collateral damage of navigating the industry without a guide, he shares a stunningly candid personal regret. "If people told me what I know now, I would probably still be with my first wife," Mojo admits. "I wouldn't have made the mistakes that I made." Fresh off six sold-out shows at Paradiso, a venue the band has called their Madison Square Garden since they first played to empty rooms here in the late 90s. Today, Mojo is channeling that raw emotion into his solo EP, Jamaica Love, and launching "Morgan Heritage 2.0" ahead of upcoming UK tour dates in London, Manchester, Leicester, and Milton Keynes. Don't miss this powerful, soul-baring conversation. This full episode of Dam Yankee can be seen on YouTube, or listen to the Dam Yankee on all major podcast platforms. Mojo talks about rebuilding the band around nephew Jimmy Morgan, recording his solo EP Jamaica Love through tears in the back of a car on a farm in Jamaica, why he still asks for Peetah's vocals in his monitor on stage every single night, and what it means to carry on a legacy when the person who helped build it is no longer there. He also talks about growing up in Springfield, Massachusetts with 29 siblings, getting teased for his dreads as a kid, learning music from Thelonious Monk III and why the mission was never to change the world, just to reach one person at a time. Mojo Morgan updates his Instagram, YouTube, and Spotify channels regularly, with more information on his other channels. on YouTube, Instagram, Spotify, Facebook, and his website.

Ray Ellin on the NYC Subway Story, Aruba & Why He Won't Post His Best Clips
Ray Ellin is a New York comedian, Comedy Cellar regular and the owner of Aruba Ray's Comedy Club, the number one nightlife activity on TripAdvisor in the entire country of Aruba. He started going to Aruba by accident in 2012, fell in love with the island and opened the club a year later. His colleagues thought he was nuts. They were wrong. Known for his crowd work and his entrepreneurial streak, Ray has also self-financed a documentary that he sold to 20th Century Fox, hosted a hybrid live and online talk show 17 years ago before the technology existed to do it properly, produced three seasons of a weekly topical standup show for Comedy Central, and raised millions of dollars for charity. He has also been profiled on Dateline NBC, where they discovered his heart rate drops when he walks on stage. In this episode he talks about building a comedy career across New York, Aruba and now Europe, losing his sister during the early days of the pandemic and how Zoom comedy kept him going and why he still has not posted any of his crowd work clips despite having hundreds of hours of footage and everyone telling him he should.

The Dark Reality of Traditional Norms with Rael Lomoti
Rael Lomoti grew up in the Turkana region of northwest Kenya, where girls as young as 12 are given away in marriage, football is only for boys and education is considered a luxury that communities cannot afford. Her father moved the family to Nairobi so his children could go to school. Her mother died working in a flower plantation, exposed to pesticides with no worker safety protections. A German nun spotted Rael playing football in the street and took her whole family in. She grew up, studied social work and community development, played in Kenya's Women's Premier League, and was offered a professional contract to play abroad. She turned it down. She went home to Turkana instead and started the first ever all girls football club. That was six years ago. Today she runs 18 clubs across Turkana and has reached over 4000 girls through the Desert Roses project, using football as the entry point for conversations about education, early marriage, climate change and the kind of life that is possible beyond the world these girls were born into.
