Nerro salutes Jamaica on new single

Reggae/dancehall artiste Nerro is paying homage to the land of his birth with his recently released single titled ' Made in Jamaica.'

The entertainer, who is the son of legendary reggae singer Barrington Levy, described the song as one of his best projects yet, stating the lyrics and music video highlight the positives attributes of the island.

"It's just one 'Jam Dung' and united, we can stop all the negativity that is going on. We are Jamaicans and we are strong and we can make the necessary changes to better our country. We are a beautiful country and our culture is admired by all. So I just wrote this song to let others know how proud I am to be a Jamaican and how proud they should be too," he said.

According to the entertainer, the idea of recording a patriotic song came about after watching a Jamaica Cultural Development Commission ad featuring past winners.

"For some reason, I just stop and listen to it. Most of the singers were just saying the same thing and a talk about jerk chicken, ackee and salt fish etc, but they weren't talking about the land itself. After the ad finished, I listened an instrumental and told my 13-year-old daughter that I was going to make a song about Jamaica and she gave me an idea and, as they say, the rest is history," he said.

Nerro said Made in Jamaica has been getting steady rotation on local airwaves and he is hoping that it attracts tourist and helps to boost the economy.

"Every word in the song is true as it relates to the beauty and culture of Jamaica. I want people to know that it is not all negative, but we are a country full with history and we have some of the most talented individuals in the world. I want this song to be an anthem for music lovers," he said. The video for the track was recently released and has since racked up thousands of views on YouTube.

"People think is a multimillion-dollar production but I used my iPhone 14 Pro Max along with a stabiliser to shoot the video along with a car with gas. It was shot by Dweet Now Production and we made stops at different places in Jamaica, just to highlight the beauty of the country," he said.
