Reggae singer defends SOJA

Reggae singer Chris Demontague has defended US reggae band SOJA's reggae Grammy win, challenging persons who feel that it was 'disrespectful' that a band made up of white people could win the genre's biggest prize.

"Reggae music is about peace and love and unity. It's revolutionary. It's about fighting the oppression of the system. We all are oppressed by the system, both white and black. We are all people. Big up SOJA for doing good reggae music, nuff work them put in," said Demontague. The artiste will be releasing visuals for his new single Revolution. The song is from his upcoming EP titled Mixed Emotions, which will be released this summer.

"The EP has seven tracks that cover conscious social commentary and lovers' rock. We have a mixture of Afrobeats and trap-reggae fusions throughout the tracks," he said.

Demontague is known for singles such as Missing You and Couldn't Believe, but his music has taken on a more revolutionary and socially conscious stand in recent months, with songs like the fiery Silent Night.
