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.

In "People Hungry" by Morgan Heritage, the lyrics speak to the current state of the world where people are living in fear and are still hungry. The song sends a message that a revolution is necessary because things have gotten so bad that the whole world is complaining. The song talks about the boiling over of the pot, which represents the frustrations and anger that people all over the world are feeling due to the rising gas and food prices, and the decreasing value of money. Despite some people taking up guns and protesting on the streets long ago, the problems continue to persist.
The song speaks to the unchangeable systems where rich people continue to build it simple while the blame is put upon the minimum wage. The song talks about the inevitability of a war, and how we as a society can't get too comfortable with the way of life today, while we're suffering in every way. The song's lyrics offer a critique of Babylonian culture, the corrupt and oppressive ruling class that pride itself in immorality, hypocrisy, and anti-people policies, pointing out that the system is at fault and no one wants to take responsibility for it. The song concludes by stressing that a revolution is a must, as the world is about to erupt, and that people need to take action, to avoid suffering in silence.
The song's honest and thought-provoking lyrics speak on behalf of the struggles that many individuals face in the world, showing how people are united against oppressive systems that promote inequality and a lack of access to basic human rights. The song's upbeat and catchy rhythm make the message even more memorable and empowering.
