Queen Ifrica, born Ventrice Morgan on March 25, 1975, in Montego Bay, Jamaica, is a powerful voice in reggae music known for her conscious lyrics and passionate advocacy for social justice. As the daughter of reggae legend Derrick Morgan, music was in her blood, but she carved her own path with a distinct style blending roots reggae with socially aware messages.
Discovered by Tony Rebel in the late 1990s, she became a prominent figure in reggae with songs addressing issues like poverty, women’s rights, child abuse, and political corruption. Her breakthrough came with hits like Randy, Below the Waist, and Daddy, the latter being a powerful song tackling sexual abuse.
Queen Ifrica’s debut album Fyah Muma solidified her reputation as a bold and authentic voice in reggae, while her later projects, such as Montego Bay (2009) and Climb (2017), further showcased her lyrical depth and commitment to uplifting messages. She has performed on major reggae stages worldwide, including Reggae Sumfest and Rebel Salute, using her platform to inspire and advocate for change.
Known for her Rastafarian faith and dedication to uplifting the African diaspora, Queen Ifrica remains a leading figure in modern reggae, championing consciousness, empowerment, and justice through her music.
