Reggae artiste Isiah Mentor has a message for would-be vigilantes and citizens who engage in reprisal killings: leave all vengeance to God. The song, 'God ah Go Deal with Them', will be released officially on iTunes on his own Village Roots label this month.

"I wrote the song because I know that the ultimate punishment is from the Creator, and I want to promote a form of anti-vigilantism, I don't  feel that people should take up the law in their own hands and do reprisal killings, and that is one of the biggest problems we face today in Jamaica. We need to leave justice if you can, to the law," he said.

The song is inspired by the rash of killings of young schoolchildren, especially girls, in recent times.

Dancehall artiste Chuky Theoutcome believes that the recent trend of authorities locking off entertainment events at 12 midnight has a negative  impact on the wider community, and has recorded a song called 'Jamaica Jamaica' which articulates his beliefs.
