OLDIES SUNDAY: Thriller Prince – Teach The Children (1996)

The Month of May is recognized as “Child’s Month“, and on “Oldies Sunday“, we feature content that highlights former Child Stars in Caribbean music, or music that supported the children. For today’s selection, we look back at Thriller Prince’s “Teach The Children“.

Produced by Richard Bell on the “Baltimore Riddim“, “Teach The Children” was released through the Star Trail label in 1996. The song finds Thriller Prince spreading the message of good parenting, emphasizing raising children in the right way, guiding them to live fulfilling lives, and trodding on the right paths. Thriller melodically delivers over the solid production, and the messages shared are still relevant today. The song gained attention locally and parts of the world, and is a solid one on the “Baltimore Riddim”.

Since the release of “Teach The Children”, Thriller Prince continued to be an active Artist. Under a new alias Izeezi, he continued to release more music, and was recently a part of some performance events in parts of Jamaica. “Teach The Children” is still recognized by some.
