WHEN A CANADIAN RAPPER MEETS UP WITH A REGGAE LEGEND...
It's bound to be pure magic. And when this info landed on our desk recently, we just had to pass it along to all SHYRICK NATION Reggae-o-holics ! Hit the >>GO BUTTON << and take a listen !
Alex Domain's in his press release ( CEO Ndless Entertainment )explains the reason for the collaboration and the intended message:
"Reggae music has always been on the forefront of social and political issues. One example is Bob Marley's participation in the Amandla Festival of 1979 in Boston, where he performed in support of the anti-apartheid movement and the liberation of South Africa.
Just a few short months ago, the entire world was shaken when George Floyd lost his life. People protested, buildings and businesses were destroyed - all while in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. Race relations were already strained, but this event managed to trigger both a national and international outcry for change and justice.
"Babylon is Falling" is a song that has put a voice to the change. The song features 2 artists (Jonathan Emile and Maxi Priest) from different generations coming together to speak on what they've been through, and what's to come."
