“God’s love is shown in different ways. Some don’t see it…when you breath, its His expression of love…when the sun shines…He put it up there,” pointed out Reggae Gospel legend Papa San (Minister Tyrone Thompson) about the meaning of his new single “Who Love Like This?”
Born in Kingston, Jamaica and raised in Spanish Town, Jamaica Papa San has made a name for himself in the Reggae world of music in the Gospel genre. Papa San is an ordained minister and founder of the Our Fathers Kingdom Ministries International church. His last album “Life Lessons” offered a combination of Reggae and Trap Dancehall music with a Christian message. Coming up soon will be his newest Reggae Gospel album release “My Worship” which the “Who Love Like This?” single is from.
“It’s (the new album) for all walks of people…a message to everyone…that the Word was God… and all things are made by Him. We have our right minds, that’s an expression of God’s love,” he preached to me. “We are His creations…and He (Jesus) sacrificed for us.”
The single is a remix of the original version of “Who Love Like This?” It brings a slightly different energy and rhythm, but with the same message.
“I am praying that it is heard at the four corners of the world,” Papa San said when I asked. “It’s looking really good (the single)…we have guest artists (on the album) as well.”
Papa San is considered the father of Contemporary Reggae Gospel and has made a profound impact on the genre. You will get to see him soon because he is launching the “My Worship” World Tour 2025 soon to promote his upcoming “My Worship” album release.https://www.youtube.com/embed/Xi5VtBphkKI?si=Xbnivyd0WoGinhZF
“I started at 12 – 13 (years-old) in secular music until I received Christ,” said Papa San when I asked about his journey to being a Reggae Gospel artist.
Papa San is a Billboard chart-topper who started his career as a Reggae artist as a teen and achieved success in the 80s and 90s transforming the genre with such hits as “The Programme” and “I Will Survive.” The result was fame and wealth and then in 1997 he converted to Christianity, and it has transformed his music into Reggae Gospel. His sound is the same, but the messages are about the Word of God and the sacrifice of Christ. The result has been multiple Top Ten Billboard hits.
