OnstageJahCure

While prepping for his big performance at Usain Bolt’s Tracks & Records “Behind The Screen” series, Jah Cure linked up with Winford Williams on the Onstage set. In this Interview he spoke about his first official performance in Kingston, the “Songs of Redemption” film, his management, his previous album, and his upcoming projects. Jah Cure also previewed the video for his single “That Girl“. Good Interview, I liked that he spoke on management not handling his businesses properly and why his last album wasn’t given the proper promotion. I know his upcoming performance at UBTR will be a big hit. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

#JaBlogDay Music: I-Noble – Mama Cry (Babylon Brutality)


INoble

In recognition of Jamaica Blog Day I present a post on the subject of Police brutality and abuse in Jamaica. In the Reggae/Dancehall culture the Law Enforcement has been an enemy to many and while their job is to “Protect and Serve“, many members of the Police force go against the creed and abuse their authority and make enemies out of the people who depend on them to bring order and justice in their communities. Many unlawful murders and imprisonments are the result and the tension between residents and Police increases at a rapid rate. The Police and their abuse has been a subject in many songs over the years but today I share a song by someone who experienced it including losing a family member. “Mama Cry” is a song done by singer I-Noble who resides in Trench town, one of the places where Police brutality has occurred over the years. In his song he speaks about the occurrences between residents and Police in inner-city communities on a regular basis, the effects of people that go through the situations, and how many corrupt Policemen collect accolades for their wrongdoings. Produced by Lanz and Christina Grand of Reggae Embassy, check out the song below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
