Floyd passed away shortly after three (3) white police officers held him down, with one kneeling on Floyd’s neck for approximately 8 minutes and 46 seconds. A fourth officer looked on and did nothing even as George repeatedly said he can’t breathe.

People were hurt and angry once the video hit social media, but their anger turned to rage as the authorities are slow in arresting the four police officers. Only one has been arrested at the time this article was written.

Demarco Pays Tribute To Beenie Man & Bounty Killer In New Song (@DemarcoDaDon @KingBeenieMan @grunggaadzilla)

Recording artist Demarco just released one of the most compelling dancehall songs for 2020. The track, titled “Homage,” is a tribute to two of the biggest names in the dancehall music industry: Beenie Man and Bounty Killer.

What makes “Homage” compelling is the passion heard in Demarco’s voice as he makes it clear, on the record, that he will never disrespect Beenie or Bounty. He also highlights something we all know to be true; the fact that a lot of Jamaica’s inner-city youths are able to make a living because of these two musical giants.
