The writer and performer of reggae
music known as George P has released his latest official album, “The
Ghetto Prezident.” The album has been proudly published on the
Shines Production independent music label without the direction of
the corporate music industry. Aggressive, packed with spirit, and
representing the truest form of the reggae tradition today, “The
Ghetto Prezident” proves that George P is one of the most
legitimate sources of the urban island sound for 2018 and beyond.
George P cites as main artistic
influences only Mavado and Flexx, the two reggae artists whose bitter
feud ended in 2015 with the announcement of a collaboration in the
works. George P has a personal connection to Mavado and Flexx, who,
in his own words, “encouraged and helped me in my craft.”
Asked to describe his major themes on
“The Ghetto Prezident,” George P mentions “the struggles of
ghetto youths in Kingston, Jamaica.” He also notes track Number 3,
“Gone,” a particularly personal song which deals with the deaths
of both his mother and his best friend.
George P hails from the volatile Grants
Pen community in St. Andrew. His current official bio speaks of
“violence happening around him every day” and “the constant
barking of guns in his Fagan Avenue neighborhood.” It goes on to
state: “George P avoided that life and persistently molded his
craft as an artist, later teaming up with his childhood friends
Natural, Savage and Flexx to form the Fagan Fraternity.”
In 2007, Richie Ramus produced an
underground mixtape, “Art of War,” on which he pitted the Fagan
Fraternity against the Vibes Kartel led Portmore Empire. The album
showcased George P as a dancehall standout, giving his fan base the
firm and burgeoning foundation on which he stands today. As of the
time of this writing, George P has been a professional musician for
more than seven years.
George P tracks can be found on the
Shines Production, Estates Records, M1 and Down Sounds music labels.
He has shared the stage with popular artists such as Busy Signal,
Aidonia, Flexx, Movado and others. He has performed at Heineken Star
Time, Movado Birthday Bash, community stage shows, High School
Barbeques and twice at the Starfish Resort.
George P offers special thanks to
Mavado and Flexx for their support, and also to Supa Hype, Kibaki,
and the rest of the Fagan Fraternity.
“George P aims to become the next
platinum-selling artist from Jamaica,” says a representative for
George P. “The fortitude that he developed as a child growing up in
the Grants Pen community is the driving force that will see him
through the many challenges along that path.”
“The Ghetto Prezident” from George
P is available from over 600 quality digital music retailers
beginning New Year's Day, 2018. Get in early, reggae and dancehall
fans.
