Vybz Kartel released his latest track Run Dancehall alongside recently re-converted Muslim, Lisa Mercedez. The track comes amidst the public dancehall feud involving the Worl’Boss, Jamiel, Alkaline and Intence. Lisa handles the chorus on this Jermaine Baker production which is a first with Vybz for the producer on his JB Productions label. Mercedez sings;
“Di WorlBoss cya stall
Yo a Addi a d King and him a run Dancehall
Addi a d King and him a run Dancehall
Addi a d King and him a run Dancehall”
I am not too sure what the Muslim community in Lisa’s area will think about the song. She recently received flack for her last release Shahada, for including a prayer from the Quran. She has since apologised for the video and removed it from circulation after receiving death threats. For her sake, I hope she doesn’t feature in the video if Vybz decides to make one. Islam is very judgemental and I am certain they will not approve of Vybz Kartel’s personae and lifestyle. I still wonder how long Lisa is going to put up with the dancehall genre if she continues on her Islamic path.
