Songs not a sign to parties
Over the years, it has become the norm for political parties to adopt the songs of dancehall and reggae artistes as part of their campaigns gimmicks. However, some artistes say no permission has been granted and warn that this will no longer be tolerated if it is done for the wrong reasons. T.O.K’s Flexx says, “a two a wi song dem use, Solid As A Rock and Chi Chi Man. We don’t give them permission, but when rally time come round dem jus use the hottest songs at the time to help in dem rally, ’cause when dem play it di crowd will respond in a positive way.”
