With over 130 murders committed since the start of the year Reggae singer, Ginjah is calling on his fellow entertainers to be more mindful about the messages they are promoting in their music.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m wondering what some of my colleagues in this music industry are really thinking about when they record certain types of songs. I don\u2019t understand how any artiste in their right mind could go in the studio and sing songs that are promoting violence and murder,\u201d said Ginjah. \u201cThere\u2019s too much slackness and immorality in the music right now. It\u2019s like some of these artistes don\u2019t realize that they are influencing the youths to become gunmen, thieves and porn stars.\u201d<\/p>\n
The easygoing singer who’s known\u00a0as the Reggae Soulman says that entertainers and other persons within the music industry need to practice social responsibility. \u201cIt\u2019s time for artistes, producers and other industry personnel to start practicing social responsibility.<\/p>\n
We are more influential than the politicians and the church,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are the ones the youths are listening to therefore we must use our influence to impact the minds of the youths positively. Instead of leading them astray let’s uplift their minds with positive messages and guide them in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ginjah is currently enjoying a huge buzz with his new single titled \u2018Don\u2019t Let Go\u2019<\/em><\/strong>. It was produced by Nature\u2019s Way Entertainment and released on the 14th of January 2022. \u201cThis is the first time that I\u2019ve recorded a love song and I am very happy about the feedback that it\u2019s getting,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the most played songs in Jamaica right now. This goes to show that you don\u2019t have to sing songs that are promoting violence or immorality to hit.\u201d<\/p>\n Ginjah is known for songs such as \u2018Never Lost My Way\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, \u2018Sweet Killer\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, \u2018One Chance\u2019 <\/em><\/strong>featuring I-Octane and Reggae Soulman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With over 130 murders committed since the start of the year Reggae singer, Ginjah is calling on his fellow entertainers to be more mindful about the messages they are promoting in their music. \u201cI\u2019m wondering what some of my colleagues in this music industry are really thinking about when they record certain types of songs.
