Soon after his release from the Ankaful Prison, the self-acclaimed dancehall king has released a song titled ‘Jail man’. In the song, he recounts the plight and suffering of inmates in the prisons which he experienced first-hand.

“Listen, most of my gees get life sentence

25 years life sentence

100 and plus life sentence

Oh Mawu, Oh Mawu, yeee

If I tell you no go believe

Remand for 5 years, 10 years

Government give respect to the border men

Because dem dey watch your borla

You for pay them well

So them go treat my people well

Attorney General, I greet you

IGP I greet you

All my judges I greet you

Too many boys dey for remand

Dem no get helping hand

CID no dey come oo

How them go go house”, the song sings.
