King Tappa says end the cycle of "Domestic Violence" this Father's Day
Dominican-born, New Jersey-based, Reggae artist King Tappa hopes that the message in his song “Domestic Violence” will resonate with listeners and bring greater awareness of the effects of domestic violence on women and children. As Father’s Day approaches, his message that parents’ actions affect their children could not be more timely.
He says he was inspired to write the song not only because of stories shared with him by his friends, but because he too has also witnessed domestic violence first hand. Additionally, co-writing the song with Melissa Casimir allowed for a broader perspective, which led to an in depth discussion of the issues and set in motion the concept for the video which depicts the issue from the point of view of the child.
According to King Tappa, “The video was shot that way because we wanted to let the audience know the effect that violence can have on kids. The main character was surrounded by a lot of violence but she didn't give up on her education, and despite being sad, she still comforted her mom, who was being abused, and remained a strong figure for her family.”
His message to parents, “Spend as much time with your kids as possible because they need it. In the world that we're living in right now there's too much negativity surrounding us and we as parents should teach our children good values and show them love—not only by words but by example. Kids look up to their dads, so if a father is showing positive things most likely the kid will follow that path.
When it comes to domestic violence, says King Tappa, most people don't know the signs and those who do won't address it. “The most important message here is to seek help, speak about it.” He is doing his part with this song which encourages the victims of domestic abuse to find a partner who will treat you like a good woman/who will hold you on a pedestal/who praises you for all the good you do.
“Domestic Violence” was produced by Martiniquean Daniel "Don Shorty Productions" Dubois, on the Head In Stars Riddim. The official video for the song was directed by Mo Green of Cape Verde. The video has been picked up for rotation by Tempo and has been presented to several other networks including BET. Look out for more songs from King Tappa this year and please support his fifth annual Project Book Bag drive aimed at offering literary support for Dominica’s youth.

Protoje's JA video could not have come at a better time...
Right now Jamaica is experiencing some difficult and violent times. Although most of the recent violence has been in Kingston, it affects all of Jamaica. I think Protoje's song "JA" is rather timely as it talks of the strength of the Jamaican people. Jamaica gets a bad rap when it comes to violence, but it is still a beautiful country with some warm people. Let's just pray that this recent bout of violence concerning the Dudus matter ends real soon.
Meantime....enjoy the song

New Music: Jah Cure "Save Yourself"
With the recent cancellation of the Visas of several prominent Jamaican performers, international reggae star and SoBe/Danger Zone recording artiste Jah Cure has been inspired to pen the visa blues and record the track Save Yourself.
It was 12:05 am on April 1, 2010, so Jah Cure naturally assumed the internet news he was reading about the Unites States canceling the visas of several top Jamaican dancehall artistes was an April Fools’ Day joke. He said: “I couldn't believe that the Jamaican government or the U.S. government would violate the privacy rights of citizens and publish their legal names, their birth dates, their actual Jamaican passport numbers and their U.S. Visa Control numbers, I did not believe it”.
Sadly, by mid-day on April 1st, the news was official; the U.S. Embassy in Kingston, Jamaica had canceled the visas.
While sitting in his living room, Jah Cure said he began to hear the words of his idol Bob Marley singing: “Get Up, Stand Up, Stand Up for Your rights.” Cure immediately felt inspired and compelled to go on record, so he headed straight to the studio and recorded Save Yourself’ as his message to Jamaica and all Caribbean nations.
In the opening lines of the song, Cure exclaims: “You can’t change my pride, you can’t take my power”. Jah Cure urges his Jamaican and Caribbean brethren to save themselves, to save their countries, to save their economies, to save their families, and to save their children. A line of the song is telling: “We must ‘Save Ourselves’ … we must save ourselves from Babylon."

Cure believes that Save Yourself is an appropriate song for the circumstance as he says: “We cannot depend on Big Brother to help us, we must depend on each other and ourselves.
Jah Cure said he is releasing the record via the internet hoping it will challenge his Jamaican brethren to stand up for their rights as he chants at the end of the song: “We have come too far to turn back now, we cannot let them take our freedom or our pride. They can never hold us down”.
Save Yourself will be released online on Friday April 9.
