Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from one of Dancehall’s foundation artists and the most popular albino artist, King Yellow Man.

NEW VIDEO: @JimJonesCapo x @IamChrisMartin – Cheater’s Prayer (Remix)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Well this is interesting. After seeing huge success and a few counteractions, Jim Jones felt it was only right to take stab at Chris Martin’s “Cheater’s Prayer” single. Titled “Mary’s Prayer“, Jim raps about his relationships and how it has been hard to be faithful to one. In reality he has personified his many ventures in life from drugs to lifestyle changes as women and their reactions. Pretty decent for the Love and Hip Hop star, video is simple with just him hanging with his crew and playing Cee-lo. I hope Chris Martin has heard it.
