Reggae and Politics: 'Stepping Razor' by Bookman continues to top the Jamaican reggae charts.

(PRWEB) December 2, 2004 -- By now everyone have heard the catchy hook from ‘Stepping Razor’. There are even a few reggae and hip-hop fans saying that this and other songs and popular sentiments among music fans may have played a small part in Colin’s Powell departure from the Bush administration. The song is filled with very witty lyrics from start to finish. How did this relatively new dancehall artist make it to the top of the Jamaican dancehall chart so fast? Well to find out the answer all you have to do is listen to the song where Bookman belt out lyrics such as the following:

‘Don't get too aggressive, just be humble
Everyone know the world is a jungle
With all these wars we all gonna crumble
Only love can guarantee we wont stumble’

The song went on to talk about how the administration saw Powell as nothing more than a puppet that they could use to do their dirty work by pulling its strings. For those who did not get to download the song from Itunes, Napster and some of the other major music download sites, not to worry. TCOOO Productions, the label responsible for releasing the song has now taken a bold step and is making the song available for free downloads at www.sharenewyork.com/shnyfile/listing/uid/65.

Bookman also have two songs on the new album, they are titled ‘Bus di dance’ where he goes solo, and ‘Sweet thing’, a great collaboration between himself, Lex and Falcon. When asked why he went from a political song on the album ‘Any type war’ to doing party songs on ‘Reggae Gold’, Bookman replied:

“Well ‘Any type War’ was a political album so I went in that direction, this time around I wanted to show my lyrical versatility. Plus there are lots of other political or message songs on this new album; there is Vineyard with ‘Stolen Legacy’, Zeego Zaro with ‘Babylon leave me alone’ and ‘Ring like Bell’ plus many others. So I did something different to add different feelings to the album’.
