Rastafarian reggae star Chuck Fenda has scored a major hit with his latest single, Warning.
According to him "The murder rate has been going up over the last year or so, and I am very concerned about it, people are afraid, so I decided to write a song about what is going on, it is an appeal for the murders to stop”
The song has been popping up on reggae charts in Poland, France and Germany.
Fender, who was born in Brooklyn, New York, but raised in Jamaica, has never shied away from controversial topics as shown by his singles such as his anti-pedophile rant, Gash Dem and Light Dem, which was banned from FM radio a few years ago.
‘Warning’ is less confrontational .
It's said to be in a spiritual direction regarding the judgment that will be meted out to criminals who fail to change their murderous ways.
Over 330 people have been killed since January.
Chuck Fenda has also become more mainstream, scoring big with a timeless duet with Cherine Anderson, Are You Coming Over Tonight.
