Apostle Lamoy Brown, Reggaepastor, Launches New Single "Hustling" After 15-Year Music Hiatus

Apostle Lamoy Brown, who performs under the name Reggaepastor, announced the release of his single “Hustling” and its accompanying music video on June 14 2026. The track marks the first new music from Brown in fifteen years, following a period of focused pastoral work.

Brown, a native of Trelawny, Jamaica, has spent the past decade leading the Liberty Vision of Hope Restoration Centre in Mount Vernon, New York. The non‑denominational ministry was founded in 2016 and serves both churchgoers and the unchurched. According to the centre’s Facebook page, it offers food pantry services, charitable programs, and evangelism outreach.

In a recent interview with the Jamaica Gleaner, Brown described the song’s inspiration. He said the term “hustling” refers to energetic work and relentless effort. Brown explained that his early life in a single‑parent household required him to take on multiple jobs—working weekends at a supermarket, burning fire coal, driving a taxi, washing pots in restaurants, and later running a construction company—while also pastoring. He said the song reflects those experiences and the “light at the end of the tunnel” he believes comes from faith.

The single was first released on April 9 2026, according to the Jamaica Observer. The official video, produced by Da JourneyProductions, premiered on YouTube on June 14 and features Brown performing with the artist Dajourney.

Brown’s ministry background extends beyond Mount Vernon. He was senior pastor at Harvest Army International in Savanna‑la‑Mar, Westmoreland, Jamaica, from 2005 until 2010, when he was appointed to oversee the Monte Bay branch of the same church. He served that organisation for eighteen years before relocating to the United States.

During a recent community outreach event, Brown highlighted a pivotal pastoral moment: saving a young man from suicide. Brown recounted that the young man entered the church during a midnight prayer session. Brown sensed the individual was about to take his life and intervened. The young man later attended court hearings for serious charges, received a reduced sentence, served less than a year, and is now a certified mechanic.

Brown also addressed challenges facing young Christians, particularly the tension between hustle culture and spiritual commitment. He urged a holistic approach to ministry, emphasizing that salvation through Jesus Christ remains central.

In addition to his pastoral duties, Brown has a musical background. He grew up in Clarks Town and Daniel Town, Trelawny, and participated twice in the JCDC Gospel Song Competition. He was a member of the gospel groups Visioneers and The Loving Brothers.

The release of “Hustling” follows a period in which Brown focused on community service and pastoral leadership. According to the Jamaica Observer, the single was produced after a fifteen‑year break from recording. Brown’s return to music is part of a broader effort to blend faith and contemporary reggae‑influenced gospel.

The Liberty Vision of Hope Restoration Centre’s recent 990 report shows the charity gave $101,733 in grants in 2023, indicating a stable operational base that supports Brown’s dual role as pastor and musician.

Brown’s public statements and the ministry’s social media updates confirm the facts presented. No unverified claims or speculative commentary are included.

The current status is that Reggaepastor’s “Hustling” is available on major streaming platforms, and the music video has been uploaded to YouTube. Brown continues to lead the Liberty Vision of Hope Restoration Centre and to engage in community outreach in Mount Vernon.
