Hey World!

Hey World! is the second album by Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, released in 1986.

Although now credited to Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, Ziggy and Stephen Marley shared the songwriting and singing. The album was produced by David Marley, Tyrone Downie, Ricky Walters, and Grub Cooper.

AllMusic wrote that "the song arrangements and production may sound terribly dated today, but the strength of the songwriting, by both Ziggy and the fast maturing Stephen, and the pair's emotive vocal deliveries still pack a powerful punch and a keen vision." Trouser Press called the album "wonderful," writing that "the Melody Makers bend delightfully light reggae grooves to new stylistic ends." The Los Angeles Times wrote that Ziggy's "social and political commentaries bristle with informed insights, pointed observations and pithy pleas—all rather amazing from someone still in his teens."
