by U.S. Marshals in a case of mistaken identity. Although he was released, it resulted in Rose losing his U.S. work permit. Rose re-joined Black Uhuru in February 2004, and performed several concerts in Jamaica and Europe with the group. They also released a Jamaican single "Dollars" and reportedly have recorded a yet untitled and unreleased album. Yet, in spite of his reunion with Black Uhuru, Rose still tours, records and releases material as a solo artist. In 2007 he recorded the number 1 single "Shoot Out" for producer John John. His latest album was released early 2008 on the Rhythm Club record label, entitled Great Expectations. In August 2019 he released the album Ska Ska Ska, his first ska album, recorded with Venezuelan musician/producer Dario Amarado. Rose was also an inaugural member of the Independent Music Awards' judging panel to support independent artists. Name spelling From about 1991 onwards, his name was often spelled 'Mykal Rose', which Rose has said is the Ethiopian way of spelling his name, which made it feel closer to home. Other spellings found on certain releases include 'Mykal Roze', 'Mikal Rose', 'Michael Roze' and so forth. This may have caused difficulty in tracking down releases.
