NEW VIDEO: @Acmatic x Mortimer – Free Jane

Posted on February 3, 2015July 30, 2019 by swadedavillain

Free the herbs! Today’s new video comes from Acmatic and they’re all about Jane. Titled “Free Jane” and features Singer Mortimer and King Lopo with the verses, they are advocating for the legalization of Marijuana, speak on the possibilities of its use and how it can change lives financially. In the video, Marijuana is personified at times wearing chains and embracing Lopo while he raps. A great effort here as the song has been previewed for months and seeing that the legalization of Marijuana in Jamaica may see the light of day, this is a proper song to get the people listening. Whether you smoke it, drink it, wear it, or even like drawing it, check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
