Fantan Mojah “Tax Invasion” a controversial hit!!
Fantan Mojah has recorded and released what already seems to be a controversial and potential hit song entitles “Tax Invasion” produced by Tremma House Productions on the Massacre Rhythm. The single hit the airwaves late evening January 6th on ZIP 103FM and immediately after several radio jocks have called in for their copies. Upon hearing about the radio djs’ reaction towards the song, Fantan took it to the streets to get a reaction from the people and the response was the same. “Tax Invasion” earned massive forwards and replays, a testament that this song is indeed a potential hit. As the name suggests, Tax Invasion addresses Jamaica current economic problems and the many increases on basic food items brought on by the Government in an effort to cover the country’s debts. Other artistes have addressed the situation but Fantan Mojah’s “Tax Invasion” track on the Massacre riddim is the cereal (see real) being fed to the masses at this time as he continues in his mission to advocate for poor people.
