Bizarre aspect: there were several demands to have
the track banned from Jamaican Radio when the
track took the waves by storm during the last part
of 2007. In a musical landscape where slackness
(that is: more or less pornographic lyrics) is
accepted, a call against one of the most evil
things one human can do to another is apparently
disturbing...
Queen Ifrica is actually one of the few female
Reggae singers who keeps the conscious fire
burning. A thing which is definitely not so easy.
An article by the Canadian Toronto Star recorded
her as saying (about conscious Reggae):
"From a young teenager I saw that this
side of the music was dying. Judy Mowatt,
Chevelle and a lot of the other sisters were
just going into the church (and singing gospel).
I'm not knocking them for that; it's just the
pressure of what the industry gives. If you're
not willing to hold on, then you might find
yourself going to other places."
Fortunately, Ventrice Morgan isn't giving up
and continues to chant down Babylon and
wickedness. This track is one of her latest
attacks on wickedness.
Check out the video as well as a 7 minute video
report providing more background on the track, and
read some media articles too!
