Great Is He

Popcaan

<p><a href="/profile/popcaan" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Popcaan</a> slid through with the second single off of his upcoming body of work, <em>Great Is He</em>. </p>



<p>The dancehall star shared his new single, &#8220;Great Is He,&#8221; the title track off of his upcoming album, on Friday morning. Popcaan blessed fans with a slow-burning record with uplifting and motivational undertones. In a sense, it&#8217;s reminiscent of &#8220;Hold On&#8221; off of 2014&#8217;s <em>Where We Come From</em>.</p>
