The Message

Only Jah Jah Knows - Kanaka Fyah ft Ranz Napeahi

Independent reggae artist Minna LaFortune proudly announces the release of her powerful new single, "Cease Fire." This stirring anthem confronts the devastating impact of gun violence on urban centers and marginalized neighborhoods worldwide. The song vividly portrays the tragic loss of young Black lives in places such as Jamaica, New York City, Haiti, Trinidad, and Soweto—where gunshots have claimed lives and left communities shattered.
"Cease Fire" not only calls for an end to violence but also highlights the heart-wrenching consequences of such bloodshed. With lines like,
"Mothers are crying, 
Sons and fathers gone, 
Children left to carry on,"
the track paints a poignant picture of the human toll of gun violence, urging listeners to come together and break this destructive cycle.
Key Excerpts from "Cease Fire" Include:
“In the streets of Jamaica, New York City, Haiti, Trinidad, and Soweto… Young black lives are lost, bleeding out from gunshots…”
“Cease fire, man! Lay your arms down, cease fire, nuh put your brother in the ground…”
“Brothers fighting brothers, it's an international war zone; the enemy is not each other—poverty is the real foe!”
In an impassioned message, Minna LaFortune explains her inspiration:
"I wrote 'Cease Fire' because I am deeply saddened by the relentless cycle of gun violence affecting young Black men and boys across the globe. Too many of our youth are losing their lives in their teens and twenties, caught in a cycle where death and violence seem inevitable. This song is a rallying cry for us to stand together, choose peace, and reshape our destiny by educating and inspiring one another."

The track’s fusion of reggae with elements of hip-hop and dancehall underscores its dynamic energy and universal appeal. "Cease Fire" is not only a call to lay down arms and stop the killing—it is also an invitation to rebuild communities with love, education, and resilience.

I am anxious to monetize my music and increase my fan base and air plays.
