Approximately two years ago, Big Feet Records released “Protection.” This is an inspirational reggae song that was penned and performed by 1990s breakout artist Keith Morgan, who is better known by his stage name Junior Kelly. A few days ago, on August 16, its official video premiered on YouTube, and based on the comments, viewers are loving both the audio and the visuals.

The music video, which was directed by Mestizo Karibe and edited by Jordon Morris, was shot in Chuspa, a village in the Venezuelan state of Vargas. It shows clips of Kelly moving around the village, seemingly prepping for a show, as well as highlights from some of his past performances, and a main scene of him singing “Protection” on the beach.

Credits for this record are as follows: executive and creative producer Josh Harris played both bass and keyboard, Santa Davis added the drums, and Jallanzo did the lead guitar. It was harmonized by Junior Kelly and Nikki Burt and mixed and mastered by Tommi Tikkenen and Earle Holder, respectively.

Multi-genre recording artist Dollarman is busy working on a new tune that he plans to release at the end of the month. The excitement surrounding this new song is growing, especially as he continues to promote his current single, “We Belong.”

“We Belong,” released earlier this year, has played an important role in helping Dollarman reach a wider audience, especially within the international reggae community. It climbed to the top of various reggae charts and was added to several playlists. It was even featured on a number of reggae-dancehall mixtapes.

The official video for “We Belong” also contributed to its success. As soon as it came out, more fans tuned in. Now, the visuals are getting heavy rotation on quite a few platforms. For instance, U.S.-based Tempo Networks is playing the music video multiple times a day and will continue to do so throughout the month of August. 

Dollarman and his team are grateful for the success of “We Belong.” They are hopeful that the same will happen with the upcoming single “So Tired.”
