Morgan Heritage will celebrate these three events on Saturday, April 21, with the global premier of their new single The Return, which will be made available to be heard on radio, in the dancehalls and via social media.

Earlier this evening, LIME issued the following release:

LIME has facilitated a dialogue between dancehall artiste Potential Kid and citizens who have vocalized their concerns about the nature of the performer’s lyrics.

The move comes shortly after the company made changes to a ‘Champs’ related campaign called ‘Ah Yah So Nice’ which featured Potential Kidd.

In a message posted on the company’s social media pages, LIME stated that after analyzing the unedited version of the song, it agreed that the lyrics were unacceptable.

LIME Jamaica’s Managing Director, Garry Sinclair who informed that the company has decided to replace the artiste in the promotion also said “What we would want is for our artistes to express themselves freely but responsibly and we think civil society can play a big role in this regard”.

Sinclair also stated that the company does not endorse or support any idea or sentiment that promotes unlawful or anti-social behaviour against any person in the society.

Kidd, who was also present at the meeting, apologized to persons who may have been offended by the lyrics and said “I do not support violence against women or homosexuals.”

Jamaicans have long had an affinity for Clarks, it has been talked about and sung about in numerous dancehall and reggae stores over the past two to three decades. Back in 2010, shoe stores in Jamaica as well as in foreign cities with heavy Jamaican immigrant populations, said sales of Clarks multiplied since the single was released, and an increasing number of persons were seen wearing Clarks shoes at parties, dances and other popular events.

Even today, the shoe remains extremely popular (you can try to use a Famous Footwear Coupon Code to get a Clarks shoe discount) at online stores and brick and mortar shoe outlets. Shoe naming-dropping has been popular in other music genres as well. In 1986, the popular 80s rap group, Run DMC, released the track “My Adidas”, a reference to the sneaker brand which was extremely popular among the young and hip kids of the day. Since then it has certainly become a trend for American rappers and dancehall artistes to talk about the brands of shoes they were wearing, as well as their other earthly possessions too.

What should be the next level in this regard for Jamaican artistes though? Should they be securing shoe endorsement fees and getting paid to talk about the shoe brands they love?

Check out the music video for the song below. It was filmed in Jamaica at Passa Passa, Hellshire Beach and inside Prodigal Studios, where the track was recorded.
