"Ghetto Boy" is a new single by Stephen "Ragga" Marley featuring Bounty Killer and Cobra. The song takes us on a journey of a ghetto youth who is introduced to gun violence by a don at a young age and also talks about political manipulations being part of the problem. The song is accurate social commentary, looking at how young boys living in the ghetto are carried down the wrong path and puts out there some reasons for this. There is also another message that comes through in this song. That message is that we shouldn't let our circumstances define our existence and the choices we make also turning corrupt politicians or "Polluticians" as Bounty Killer refers to them in the song is not always the best answer to poverty and gun violence.
Stephen "Ragga" Marley's smooth vocals on the chorus tells the story of the ghetto boy. The story continues with Bounty Killer on the second verse and his deep voice is always great to listen to on any track. I feel he brings the grit that the song needed due to how deep his voice is and he brings us back to the days when he did Sufferer and Down in the Ghetto. I can definitely hear him doing more songs like this throughout 2015. I haven't heard much from Cobra and that's probably just me (let me put that out there) but he sounds great on this track and he laid down some truth on his verse.
The beat is a cross between an old western movie sound track in the intro and then real hardcore dancehall throughout the song. Great quality production which is expected once a Marley is stamped on it. I love the song, already have the chorus replaying in my head. "Ghetto Boy" goes down in the history books as another great colloboration from Stephen "Ragga" Marley.
"Ghetto Boy" is set to be officially released on May 26, 2015 and will be one of the tracks on Stephen Marley's Revelations Part 2: The Fruit of Life Album slated to be released in August 2015. Listen to "Ghetto Boys" on Sound Cloud by following the link below.
