Whenever Kashief Lindo and his father Willie Lindo tune into cable or network television, it\u2019s almost inevitable a thorny racial issue makes the headlines.<\/p>\n
Whether it is Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd or Daunte Wright, a person of color is usually the victim of abuse by white law enforcement officers. They vent their concern on \u201cI Can\u2019t See Your Face\u201d, a song sung by Kashief and produced by Willie.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really bad now, this racism thing. People are not hiding their hate anymore, whether it\u2019s the politician or di pastor,\u201d said Willie Lindo, who wrote \u201cI Can\u2019t See Your Face\u201d.\u00a0 The song is distributed by Heavy Beat Records, the Lindos\u2019 South Florida label which has produced a number of hit songs including \u201cI Wanna Wake up With You\u201d by Boris Gardiner, which topped the British national chart in 1986.<\/p>\n
\u201cI Can\u2019t See Your Face\u201d is Kashief Lindo\u2019s latest dig at the American justice system, which many critics believe is stacked against so-called minority groups. Last year, he hit the charts with \u201cTill dem bun Down di House\u201d and \u201cHuman Life\u201d, also produced by his father.<\/p>\n
The Lindo family has lived in the United States for over 35 years and has seen many controversial racial incidents. Willie Lindo says things have gotten worse.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople have got to take a stand an\u2019 dat includes we in di music world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
