Message Man is the second album by Eddy Grant. He plays almost every instrument and sings every voice on this album. The uncredited backing band was 90° Inclusive. The album is significant for its socio-political stance in songs such as "Race Hate" and "Cockney Black". The track, "Hello Africa", is considered a major highlight of this album with Grant creating a unique genre that remains difficult to categorize to this day.
All tracks composed and arranged by Eddy Grant
"Thanks to Akwila Simpasa for making me the Message Man, and to Victor Olakau for helping with the translations."
