Former Jamaican Olympian Ricardo Chambers – who is the CEO and owner of Chamber’s Hydro Farm in Spur Tree, Manchester – has been using music and social media to highlight the importance of healthy eating and the advantages of farming.

Throughout the summer he and his team have been sharing short video clips of artists – and in some cases actors – performing songs and skits that promote agriculture and its benefits. All the performances are usually done on the farm and then shared online where they’re reviewed by his followers in real time.

Pleased with the public’s response, Ricardo has decided to take it a step further. He is now partnering with Blakkwuman22 Music to release a song written and produced specifically to bring awareness to the aforementioned. The song, which went live on all streaming platforms on September 27th, is titled Ground Provision and it’s penned and performed by dancehall artist Karamanti. 

On the record, Karamanti – who is a staunch pescatarian – breaks down her eating habits, and recommends that the listener use food as medication and not just something consumed impulsively.

A few days ago it was reported that another black man was murdered by police in the United Sates. Sadly, this killing took place in 2019, but it was swept under the rug and none of the officers were held accountable.

The continual revelation of these types of homicide at the hands of law enforcement have been disturbing to everyone; artists and public figures alike.

These news have been so troubling that they’ve even gotten several entertainers, not known for their stance on social issues, to use their platforms and voices to raise awareness about them.

Some of the artists that have surprised their fans by aggressively addressing these matters are Grenadian soca singer Mr. Killa, Jamaican dancehall deejay Bounty Killer and many more; even Guyanese recording artist E.G. DaGovenaw has done a song affirming his alliance with the protesters.

In fact, in a new one on one interview with Maria Jackson Magazine, E.G. gave us an insight into how Black Americans may be feeling about all that is happening, being in such close proximity to it. He also detailed the story behind his hit song Stand With The Protesters.
