Message Man is the second album by Eddy Grant. He plays almost every instrument and sings every voice on this album. The uncredited backing band was 90° Inclusive. The album is significant for its socio-political stance in songs such as "Race Hate" and "Cockney Black". The track, "Hello Africa", is considered a major highlight of this album with Grant creating a unique genre that remains difficult to categorize to this day.
