do / why am I still lonely / I don't understand / I

don't understand ..."

Biggie Irie Adopts the SAVE Foundation via his “Baby Momma”

Within days of launching his latest reggae single titled “Baby Momma”, Biggie Irie adopted the SAVE Foundation (Service Alliance For Violent Encounters) and will become one of the local music industry’s advocates against domestic violence. The self penned track, produced by Randy Eastmond of Quantum Studios and was written by Biggie Irie.  The song condemns domestic violence against women whilst at the same time reminding listeners about the importance of women in our society.

About this latest single the big Papa of Lover’s Rock and Groovy Soca “I don't like to think domestic violence exists but it does exist. Men who beat women are cowards and have no respect for themselves or the women they prey upon.”

Biggie Irie who is no stranger to the soca or reggae music scene has given the assurance that he will do all that he can to assist the newly formed SAVE Foundation to bring the topic to the fore. “I believe that I can help to spread the message through this song and also by going into schools and colleges and talking to young people to let them know that domestic violence is wrong.”

Addressing the issue of domestic violence towards men, Biggie Irie expressed concern that he has heard about incidences of domestic violence against men but not as much as domestic violence perpetrated against women. He says, “the public needs to recognize that both forms of abuse are wrong. “

This latest release coincides with a period of 16 days of Activism celebrated across the world between the 25th November (International Day Against Violence Against Women and the 10th December, 2010 ( International Human Rights Day in order to symbolically link violence against women to human rights and to emphasize that such violence is a violation of human rights. This international campaign originated from the first Women’s Global Leadership Institute sponsored by the Centre of Women, Global Leadership in 1991.

♠ HOTTT New Lover's Rock! ♠ Biggie Irie - Baby Momma!

Greetings!

 

Veteran Lover's Rock and Groovy Soca artist

Mr. Biggie Irie has a fresh new release that is

guaranteed to spark discussion, maybe even

debate amongst music presenters and the listening

public!

 

The title of the chune is called "Baby Momma"

and the content of the lyrics is aimed directly

at Men. 

 

Biggie Irie stands up for Women around the

world by telling all Men they have to do right

by their Baby's Mother.  Regardless of the how's

and why's and who's, if it wasn't for these women,

we could not be here.

 

Produced and recorded by Randy  Eastman

and written by Biggie Irie on the Dime Riddim, 

the chune has generated such a buzz in the Caribbean,

that women's organisations have asked that the

song be implemented when they give presentations

etc.

 

I'd really like to know what you think, and what

you have to say about the chune!

The Best of England & Barbados Presents: Biggie Irie - Let's Stay Together...!

Greetings!

 

One of the best artists to come out of Barbados

is the 'Big Papa' of Groovy Soca and Lover's Rock,

also known as Biggie Irie!

 

If you dig deep into Biggie's history, you'll discover

that he was born in England, and at the age of 3

moved to Barbados with his mother, hence the

Groovy Soca and Lovers Rock combination!  Today,

Biggie makes his debut to the network in the Lovers

Rock lane.  The chune is called "Let's Stay Together"

and it's guaranteed to be a hit record!

 

Performed to the familiar one drop classic riddim

based on Alton & Hortense Ellis's "Breaking Up Is

Hard To Do," Biggie's variation turns the wording to

emphasize on staying together and loving forever as

opposed to breaking up.  His sweet voice is clear

and believable and makes all women reconsider

the decision to leave!

 

This chune is a must play for your Lovers Rock

segment on radio, via mixtape, or as a early warm

session in Dancehall!

 

Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch Biggie Irie and his

brand new hit chune "Let's Stay Together" here:

 

P.S.  Download bonus!  "Nah Goin Home" ft.

Maximus Dan which was the 2007 International

Groovy Soca Monarch in Trinidad & Tobago!
