Raine Says "Nutten Nah Gwaan"
August 10, 2010
In a climate wrought with tribulation and entertainers being urged to be more socially aware, singer, Raine Seville and deejay Wasp, have put their voices together in the conscious song entitled, "Nutten Nah Gwaan". The track which focuses on the life and struggles of people in the ghetto premiered last month on ZJ Liquid's 'Fresh to Death' segment on ZIP FM. Wasp, who is known for anthems such as "Cry Fi Dem" and "Unfair Officer" has a somber tone as he discusses real life situations to which Raine adds her melodious voice singing, "Nutten nah gwaan. A di word out inna di streets. We have no food to eat. We're stressed out and tired of begging. We have nowhere to go but the bigger heads dem don't know."
According to Raine, "On my first meeting with Wasp, we expressed our respect for each other's music and talent and he mentioned the possibility of doing a collab with me which I agreed to. He then wrote the song and we presented it to DASECA, who loved it."
DASECA aren't the only ones loving the song as ZJ Liquid gave his praises on air when he debuted it saying, "Me have a Raine Seville and Wasp fi drop, mi rate da song yah and its different from di everyday male and female collaboration wah talk about sex. Big up Raine and Wasp and mi nuh business wah nobody waan sey mi send it a road, play it all ten times - dat mi sey."... declaring the track 'Fresh to Death' song of the day.
For Raine this is another step in exploring her musical versatility and telling the world to expect the unexpected. "I'm extremely happy about it because as I always said in my interviews, I aim to be diverse - to sing on every issue but not beyond my personal boundaries. I haven't experienced poverty in its entirety but like the majority I've experienced hard times due to a lack of resources, plus I have many friends from garrison communities, who I think this song will appeal to," she said.
