There is one music video that right now is on the tongues,
computer screens and flat screens of the masses, and that music video is “Kingston
Be Wise.” By extension, the artist who
performs the chune, Protoje is also at the Reggae forefront; not because of his
cool handsome exterior (sex does not play a role in this but Protoje is a
handsome man), nor because of his exuding swag, but because of the hard hitting
lyrics we cannot go around.
Beginning with the music, the riddim was produced by veteran
Don Corleon, and the track is taken from Protoje’s soon to be released album
The 8 Year Affair (hits all digital retail outlets January, 2013). In the chune, Proto as he’s nicknamed asks us
to be wise. Why? Because the source of our information (the news
via television) is controlled by interest groups and that means we don’t always
get the full story hence the punch line “Kingston Be Wise.”
Adding to the already great offering of sound and voice, we
have the vocal ‘riff’ of the ‘Stepping it hot’ Don, Mr. Ini Kimoze making this
song one of the hottest to close out 2012.
If this track is any indication of what we can expect from the album, I’d
say Kingston, and Jamaica, and the world has a lot to be thankful for.
P.S. The video
accurately depicts life in the city that gives so much life!
