Pressure Buss Pipe to release new album
Reggae artiste Pressure Buss Pipe will be releasing a new album, ‘Rebel With a Cause’ on November 8.
“This album is roots-rock-reggae, with contemporary tracks that [are] more inspirational and different from the music that I have been doing recently. This is more authentic world music, and I am proud of the entire album. I wrote all the songs myself. My favourite song so far is Wake Up Stay Up,” he said.
The album tackles socio-political issues such as government corruption, institutional racism, injustice, and economic oppression.
“This album addresses the situation of injustice in the world, especially for black people. The way the system brainwashes black people and creates a mindset that affects the happiness and the future of the people. Black people face the same issues in Central America, South America, the Caribbean and North America. It is shared experience based on economic oppression and racial injustice,” said the artiste. “Once we have a full understanding of the problems, we can know what’s wrong and then show the world why we have reasons to rebel ... that’s the reason for the album, to speak the truth and inspire others to open their minds and not be blind to the system.”
One of the singles that will be powering the album is Streets Calling Me, featuring US Virgin Island brother duo R City (Rock City) .
“Rock City are my childhood friends, no matter what success they have or I have. Since high school, we talk every week, they are like my blood family, we grew up in adjoining communities, we went to the same school, Charlotte Amelie High School, so we have known each other for over 20 plus years,” Pressure Buss Pipe said.
