Two of Jamaica’s upcoming Dancehall artistes, Hype Type and Marlon Binns (a member of Alliance), have linked up to collaborate on the single Stop The Violence.
Born in Manchester, Marlon and Hype both grew up sharing most of the same dreams and aspirations. Both artistes dreamt of becoming entertainers, using their talents not only for the benefit of self but to encourage and educate the mass and promote a positive change in the behaviour of today’s youth.
As is evident, crime and violence is one of Jamaica’s leading problems and the same is true for most neighbouring islands such as Trinidad and Tobago, St Lucia and of recent, Bermuda, where Hype Type now resides with its rapidly rising crime rate.
Both artistes, Hype and Marlon, have taken the initiative to record this collaboration as they claim they have reached the saturation point with the crime statistics and news bulletins detailing violence and bloodshed on a daily basis.
The artistes say that they hope that the song will bring across a positive message to their fans and the rest of the world.
