On Saturday, May 30th, Jamaican pop star, Koffee, shared the following statement on her social media platforms:

“As we witness the constant injustice towards our brothers and sisters, we must stand together. I may be young, but I can fully feel the weight of the decades of oppression and abuse towards not only Black Americans, but Black people all over the world. Let George Floyd’s life be not in vein. We must fight for freedom and fight against injustice. We are all in this together. None of us are free until all of us are free.”

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.

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.

FuriousSt. Catherine based roots-reggae singer, Furious, is sharing the first single from his upcoming EP. The track is a praise and worship reggae record titled “Jah Never Fail.”

The alluring single has a vintage sound reflecting the era in which Furious, who is now 71 years old, grew up in. He is both the musical producer and executive producer, although professional musicians were hired to ensure that the rhythm was created with live instruments. All productions (beat and vocals) were done at Studio Mix in Kingston with the help of engineer Mikey Riley. “Jah Never Fail” is on Furious‘ own record label Pawee Tradition.

Furious, who is a committed Rastafarian says that the song is a real reflection of his faith and belief in the Almighty. He further elaborated that every time he has encountered real hardship that seemed impossible to overcome, Jah always pulls him through!
