Reggae-Gospel Singer Derrick Scott Calls Out False Prophets On His Single “Some Preacher Nowadays”

Posted on July 28, 2020 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

0000-Derrick Scott Taken from his latest album, “Gospel Truth,” Derrick Scott‘s current single, “Some Preacher Nowadays,” though controversial, is accurate!

In the intro, Scott makes it clear that he is not talking about anyone in particular (“mi naa tro no stone”) but that the gospel must be rooted in honesty and not deception. He then goes on to shed light on the fact that many Ministers of the Gospel are there for their own selfish ambitions as opposed to carrying out the will of God.

“Some Preacher Nowadays” is a reggae song with a laid-back, easy going, delightful sound, that is guaranteed to captivate its listener. Musicians that contributed to the track are: Paul Douglas (drums), Robbie Shakespeare (bass), Kashief Lindo and Lenny (keyboards), Willie Lindo (guitars), John Erinosho (sax); with background vocals by Susan Sultry and Shauna Dazzle. The song was recorded and mixed at Heavybeat Studio, with production credits going to Derrick Scott for his own DScott Music.

Buju Banton Wins The 2020 Jamaica Festival Song Competition (@bujubanton @JCDCJamaica)

And the winner is… “I Am A Jamaican” by Buju Banton.

Since it was announced earlier in the year that several established artists have entered the 2020 Festival Song Competition, there were some opposition from persons who felt that the platform should be reserved for new or emerging talents. Those talks quickly disappeared once the masses heard all the songs.

The fact is that the more known artists did not assume that their name recognition would give them the prize. Instead, they contributed quality records that celebrated Jamaica and its people just as the younger talents did.

Fast forward to where we are now, at the end of July, and the public have decided that Buju Banton‘s “I Am A Jamaican” is the best among this year’s finalists.
