US-based Dancehall artiste IPD Green is calling on the government of Jamaica to do more to alleviate poverty in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been 60 years since Jamaica gained independence and I think by now our leaders should have fixed many of the social problems that are plaguing our people, especially poverty\u201d, he said. \u201cI feel very sad every time I visit my homeland and see people begging on the streets and children hustling when they should be in school. I think everyone in Jamaica should be able to enjoy a better standard of living after 60 years of independence.\u201d<\/p>\n
IPD Green is currently promoting a brand new single titled \u2018Hard Times\u2019<\/em> <\/strong>which was released on his IPD Records imprint on the 12th of January. \u201cI wrote this song to express how I feel about the crime and poverty in Jamaica and other parts of the world. I know that it might offend some persons, but the truth must be told. The people living in the ghettos need more opportunities. It\u2019s time for a change,\u201d said IPD Green.<\/p>\n \u2018Hard Times\u2019 <\/em><\/strong>is the follow-up single to his breakthrough single titled \u2018Level Level\u2019 <\/em><\/strong>which was released last year. \u201cLevel Level is still getting a lot of rotation, and I want to keep the momentum going with this new single. I\u2019m getting ready to launch a full-scale promotion campaign for it. This year I’m going all out with my career. I\u2019m not easing up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" US-based Dancehall artiste IPD Green is calling on the government of Jamaica to do more to alleviate poverty in the country. \u201cIt\u2019s been 60 years since Jamaica gained independence and I think by now our leaders should have fixed many of the social problems that are plaguing our people, especially poverty\u201d, he said. \u201cI feel […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":2764,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[239],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international-news"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sandbox.reggaenorthca.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sandbox.reggaenorthca.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sandbox.reggaenorthca.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sandbox.reggaenorthca.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sandbox.reggaenorthca.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2763"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sandbox.reggaenorthca.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2763\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2765,"href":"https:\/\/sandbox.reggaenorthca.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2763\/revisions\/2765"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sandbox.reggaenorthca.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sandbox.reggaenorthca.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sandbox.reggaenorthca.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sandbox.reggaenorthca.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
