@MGeeMusic Calls For Peace In “Stop The Violence” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaica started off 2018 on a bad note if we’re being honest. The surge of crime and violence continues to make its move on the Island, and it was shown in the number of incidents in the first 25 days. It is time we look into ourselves and try to make a change, but it’ll take some time for us to get it right. Spreading a message in his music today is Recording Artist M-Gee with “Stop The Violence“. Produced by GS Music Entertainment, M-Gee shares being tired of hearing bad news, attending Funerals, and posting “R.I.P.” messages. He calls for those participating in crimes to look into themselves to do better as too many innocent people are being taken down. He also asks the question of who supplies the weapons as those living in the Ghetto are not responsible for carrying them in. Our culture is filled with unique Food, Fashion, Art, and Music that is recognized the world over, Crime and Violence should not be a part of it. Give peace a chance! M-Gee’s new single is distributed through Zojak Worldwide with assistance from Suss Media, and is available on iTunes for purchase. Check out the track below.
