It’s never easy when life is spent behind bars. While some may have the privilege of treating it like a “home away from home“, others are not so lucky. Dancehall Artist Laden, who was enjoying life in music, had to face the consequences of his action when he was sentenced to 4 years for illegal gun possession, and 18 months for possession of ammunition. His presence may be missed on the scene, but he holds on through the new track, “Jailhouse Story“.
Produced by Armzhouse Records, Laden takes us to the day he was locked up, to his current state behind bars. While he shared some of what has been happening including missing out on his daughter’s graduation, he is sorry that life has lead him to this situation. He acknowledges that he is missed by friend, family, and fans, and he emphasizes that “Freedom is a must“, with him returning to the outside world soon. Despite what got him there, we hope Laden is keeping it together, and staying creative.

Simple video from the artists, interesting to have a man bound by chains as well. Free yourself, don’t be apart of the statistics. While this may be a controversial collaboration, I didn’t see the need for it to be
