Injected with a variety of vibrant colors and a Carnival-esque feel, “Ready” is not only the epitome of being ready for anything that may come your way, but having fun while doing so –– “Sometimes you must let it all hang out and just have a good time,” says Morgan Heritage on the track.

The Homeland is a project of rebirth for the Morgan brothers, built upon a lineage that has lasted decades and one that will continue to forge forward. Musically, they take the listener on a journey that not only reminds them of days past, but the future ahead.
