After dropping three notable singles, Groundation releases “Market Price,” an inspiring spiritual track showcasing the diversity of the group’s upcoming studio album One Rock. The fourth single kicks off with slow dreamy piano notes, before breaking into an uptempo jazz melody that then slides into sunny, soothing reggae. The music creates a sonic reflection with the music balancing out the heaviness of the lyric.

After dropping two stellar singles, Groundation unleashes the title track from its upcoming new studio album, One Rock, and this new song lives up to its name. If "Original Riddim" and "Human Race" were infused with jazz sounds, this track ventures into fuzzed out electric guitar riffs balanced over laidback reggae rhythms. "One Rock" also features vocals from the legendary CONGOS, well known for their work with Lee “Scratch” Perry, and their impressive vocal range.
