Pop/R&B/Hip Hop/Reggae Artist KC Jockey Is Looking For "A Better Jamaica" With New, Free Downloadable Tribute
Art Laurent
Jockey's new track, "A Better Jamaica." The track is a tribute to the
artist's homeland, and one that he hopes will be an anthem for better
days ahead. "A Better Jamaica" can be downloaded from KC Jockey's
website free of charge, as it is his present to the people of Jamaica
and all who love the beautiful country.
According to the CIA World Factbook, "Jamaica is currently plagued
with high crime rates and corruption, large scale unemployment and
under employment, and the 4th highest debt burden per capita in the
world." Other sources state that, "The total life expectancy for
Jamaicans has been declining since at least 2004, at which time it was
76. The rate of violence is particularly high in Kingston, and
spreading to other areas. That issue is beginning to affect tourism,
which accounts for one fifth of Jamaica's GDP with $4 billion/year in
revenues." And with the upcoming election, the situation may become
even worse.
KC Jockey's "A Better Jamaica" is a promotional track and a smooth
groove of a song that has depth and meaning. This song will be added
to the artist's album, which will be released soon and include an
uplifting new version of the previous "Waiting In Vain" track that was
loved and done by: Bob Marley The mid-tempo reggae single is infused
with a just a hint of R&B and soul, and bursting with the hope for a
new day in KC Jockey's much loved homeland of Jamaica,one without
violence, poverty, and hunger. "A Better Jamaica" is a very likeable
song which fulfills its purpose of fueling oneness, peace, and love
for and between all Jamaicans. KC Jockey has a wonderful voice that
greatly accentuates the message of "A Better Jamaica," which is both
musically and lyrically strong. The artist seems to be very much
driven by causes near and dear to his heart, as his release prior to
this one, "Girl, You're Free," addressed domestic violence. "Girl,
You're Free," released on August 27th, has been #1 on WXAC 91.3's
Urban Charts for a total of 8 weeks, and is still enjoying rotation on
other stations. The video will be shot in Atlanta for the new year.
KC Jockey attributes the success of his music to his unique style of
combining Pop,R&B,Hip-Hop, and reggae with topics that will have
meaning and relevance for a lifetime. "The music I make is timeless
and significant, and it's for all ages to listen to. It's deep, and
when you have a good sound and a good message, people are drawn to it.
Jamaica is my homeland. It's a beautiful place where people from other
countries come to relax and enjoy the exquisiteness of it in every
sense. It's time now for Jamaicans to be able to embrace each other as
the brothers and sisters that we are, and enjoy the country for
ourselves, without fear, pain, or violence. We, as a people, will
overcome our present circumstances, and we will be better for it in
the end. That is the Jamaica that I know and love."
