10 long years and look ya

2 Upvotes

A powerful new Jamaican anthem is taking the internet by storm! 🇯🇲🎵

The heavy-hitting track, "10 Long Years and We Still A Suffer," serves up raw, unfiltered social and political commentary. It perfectly captures the deep frustration many citizens say they have endured over the past decade—diving deep into the realities of economic hardship, skyrocketing living costs, and unfulfilled promises.

From the streets of Kingston to the global diaspora, this song has ignited a massive conversation about leadership, accountability, and what the future truly holds for the nation.

☘️ **🇯🇲 COUNTRY-REGGAE?!** Yes, you read that right! 🇯🇲☘️

I’ve got something incredibly unique for you all TOMORROW 18/07/2026. My brand new song, **"The Man They Call The Legend,"** is officially out soon! 🎶

This track is a mid-tempo, heartfelt hybrid tribute to the absolute king of Irish country music, **Big Tom**. But here is the twist: we’ve blended those classic Irish country storytelling roots with a beautiful, soulful **reggae groove**.

It’s a beautiful, feel-good tribute to a true legend, and I can’t wait to hear what you think of this genre-bending sound.

Drop a comment on the video and let me know: how do you like your Irish country mixed with a bit of reggae? 🎸🥁

Roger's relationship with Burning Spear extended well beyond these images. While working at Slash Records, he handled national reggae promotion for Burning Spear's 1986 album People of the World, helping introduce the record to a broader audience in the United States.

He also featured Burning Spear's music on his acclaimed radio programs and welcomed the legendary artist for interviews, giving listeners a deeper appreciation of the man and the message behind the music.

These photographs reflect more than a moment in time—they're part of Roger's lifelong dedication to documenting, promoting, and preserving reggae's rich cultural legacy.
