Others slated to appear include T.I., Dave Matthews, Mackelmore, Public Enemy, Esperanza Spalding, Goapele, Dr Cornel West and Jussie Smollett of Fox TV’s Empire, with more artists scheduled to be confirmed at a later date.

Radics is currently in Atlanta completing work on his latest album, due for release later this year.

According to Radics, he was eager to lend his name and support to the event out of his admiration for Mr. Belafonte and his own commitment to social justice.

“Mr. Belafonte is a legend and a pioneer in the movement advocating human rights in the United States and throughout the world,” says Radics.

John Legend

“The work he has done and the awareness he has raised through his organization, Sankofa’s “We Are The World” production, is an example to artists everywhere, and as one who always attempts to use my art to appreciate life and celebrate the super consciousness that all human being have in common, I am honored and humbled to be invited to participate in this landmark event.”

Radics has been a major force in the worlds of pop, soul and reggae music for over a quarter of a century. He has sold over three million records worldwide and is in the Guinness book of World records for recording the fastest selling reggae remake ever of a popular song- Twist and Shout– on which he collaborated with fellow Jamaican artists Chaka Demus and Pliers, in 1993.
