3. Na Go Love It

DIS NUH STOP PLAY/ALL MONTHS AND YEARS AFTER ELECTION DAY: Ninja has other classic reality tunes like “Mandela Come,” celebrating a newly freed Nelson Mandela’s visit to Jamaica, and More Reality,” where he encourages his fellow deejays to not abandon culture lyrics. However, his reality opus “Na Go Love It” is where he is literally pleading with all of his fellow Jamaicans to ‘vote and nuh fight.’ In a country known for political violence, this is a real problem, and Ninja has always been very apolitical as opposed to some of his deejay forefathers like Josey Wales and Supercat. Using a hook from the folk song ‘Love of the Common People’ (which was covered in a reggae style numerous times) Ninja cemented his place as the people’s champ.
