A year later the family moved to Denroy's homeland of Jamaica. In this period, three family members left the group. In Jamaica, Morgan Heritage began working with famed reggae producers Bobby Dixon and Lloyd James, resulting in the release of the critically acclaimed album Protect Us Jah (1997), followed by One Calling (1998), and the spiritually-inclined Don't Haffi Dread (1999). They released two albums by "The Morgan Heritage Family and Friends", and the Live in Europe! album recorded on their 2000 tour. Morgan Heritage toured in Europe again following the release of their 2001 album More Teachings... Their sixth studio album, Three in One, came out in 2003. They have released two DVD`s (Live In London and Live Over Europe 2003) with good success and "Full Circle" (2005)
There is a sibling band called L.M.S which is more hip-hop influenced without a band, that often tours with them and is a part of their family, as well as their father Denroy Morgan.
They are one of the most influential reggae bands today, returned to Jamaica and opened studio and realised 3 complilations of "Morgan Heritage Family and Friends" creating their own rhytms.
They have cooperated with most reggae bands and DJs (MCs) of today including Capleton, Luciano, Gentleman, Beres Hammond etc.

The song "Best Friend" by Morgan Heritage is an ode to the power of an enduring friendship. The song's lyrics are reflective and poignant, expressing gratitude for a friend who has been there through thick and thin. The opening lines of the song set the stage for the rest of it. It talks about how one can see the face of a distant friend on a TV, and how that mere sight can evoke memories from the past. The lyrics then go on to describe how this friend had helped the singer turn their tears into smiles, and how their absence from the singer’s life would make the latter lonely. The song goes on to assert that the singer would never forget their best friend and would always be there to help them.
The song seems to describe a friendship that has been through a lot. The lyrics mention the pain the friend has endured and how they have come out of it with the unwavering support of their companion. Even in the darkest of moments, the strength of their friendship shines through. The song advocates for the enduring power of friendship and the importance of cherishing those precious relationships.

So whom sampled whom? Hot 93.7 the station I listened to rap on would play this back to back with T.O.K When You Cry. They'd play When You Cry and then right after it this song. So I always thought it was 1 mad long ass song. But I did always wander what this song had anything to do with the other 1. Well I guess nothing after all. But now I realize the instromental is the same 1. Hence why I ask whom sampled whom?
