HAFFI MEK IT ONE DAY

Dancehall ReggaeDancehall is a genre of Jamaican popular music that developed in the late 1970s. Initially it was a more sparse and less political and religious variant of reggae

This song relates to the rise of unemployment in Jamaica.

“ghetto youth a suffa in the street and remain fi leavetoo much juvenile mi see bleedinna our world innocent killed by policeinna fi dem worldsociety nuh believedem think all we doa buss gun and smoke weed”

Overall Message There is a different world outside of America where young youths have to face different levels of suffering.

Without a doubt the is police brutality on ever corner of this globe but in some place it is happens a little too often.

Connection

Because of poverty unemployment is like “violence to the spirit as well as the body”, (Terkel) it also makes some individuals feel like there is no hope.

Unemployment is the cousin of poverty

If there is no hope, no jobs and nothing to do why not turn to crime is the thoughts of many
