Dropping some message music is the “Strong One” called Etana. Titled “Trigger” and produced by Barbwiya Productions and Freemind Music, we hear Etana telling the story of a young man who faced challenges including economical problems. They became such a burden on him that he went against his promise to his mother to never pursue the life of crime. Great song here as we get to know the issues he’s facing and put a picture to the lyrics. Etana has always delivered great music and this is no different. What do you think?
