Stalwart Junior
Reid, known for ‘One Blood’ among other
classical records has lent his voice to a project that continues to gain
mainstream attention throughout the U.S and Caribbean Territories.
The Rastafarian singer
recently teamed with American rapper Uncle Murda for a track titled ‘Guns Dem Load’ the song also features
incarcerated Dancehall star Vybz Kartel.
Produced on Reid’s own JR
Records imprint the conscious effort admonish the youths
against the use of guns, drugs and violence which continues to plague our
society. The heavily flavoured reggae song has been enjoying immense rotation
on a number of radio outlets in the New York Tri-state and Los Angeles areas.
Ironically,
though Vybz
Kartel is featured on the composition, Reid and Uncle Murda nonetheless uses the opportunity to vocalise their
support for the release of the self proclaimed ‘world boss’ who’s currently
facing a number of alleged criminal charges. Uncle Murda
is a Brooklyn based Rapper; in 2007
he was signed to then musical powerhouse Roc-A-Fella Records,
a year later he was shot in the head while sitting in a car in a parking lot,
despite the ordeal he escaped without serious injuries.
Back from Phoenix,
Arizona with members of his One Blood family Junior Reid
also made stops in California and
other states as part of his North American stint. Reid will continue work
on his upcoming album while promoting his new video ‘Out Deh’. [WATCH VIDEO]

year Junior Reid made headlines
as one of the specially invited guest of American Rap mogul Jay-Z’s at the 10th
Anniversary of his Club 40/40's in New York City. Reid walked on the red carpet and was swarmed by the
paparazzi.
