With over 400 murders taking place in Jamaica since the start of the year Masta Recka believes that the government needs to take drastic measures to curb the ever-growing murder rate in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a Jamaican who lives overseas, I am very concerned about what\u2019s going on in Jamaica. Our country is starting to develop a very bad reputation because there are so many murders happening there. People are scared to travel to Jamaica. The crime-fighting strategy government is using needs to be revamped. It\u2019s time to take drastic measures to fix this crisis,\u201d said the artiste.<\/p>\n
The talented deejay who is a US army veteran is currently promoting a hard-hitting new single titled \u2018Ghetto Jonh Crow\u2019<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cI wrote this song to shed some light on the harsh socioeconomic problems that have helped to cause the ongoing crime problem in Jamaica. It also highlights several potential solutions. It\u2019s not a song for the faint of heart, it\u2019s hardcore Dancehall. It\u2019s very gritty and grimy but it\u2019s factual,\u201d said Masta Recka.<\/p>\n Masta Recka is currently working on several new projects including a video for \u2018Ghetto John Crow\u2019<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m working with my team to get the video for this single completed and ready for release. We\u2019ve shot all the scenes already. As soon as the final edit is approved, I am going to release it. I\u2019m also working on some singles that I plan to release later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n Produced by Masta Recka \u2018Ghetto John Crow\u2019<\/em><\/strong> was released on the ZFEX imprint on the 20th of May. The song is available on all digital platforms including Itunes, Amazon and Spotify.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With over 400 murders taking place in Jamaica since the start of the year Masta Recka believes that the government needs to take drastic measures to curb the ever-growing murder rate in the country. \u201cAs a Jamaican who lives overseas, I am very concerned about what\u2019s going on in Jamaica.
