VIOLENCE is the most common cause of death in reggae singers. We can not escape this truth. I have omitted the cases of people dead from violence.
In terms of medical causes of death however we can see cancer and heart problems are the most common causes and these are usually not people dieing in their 80s but in their 40s 50s and 60s. Dieing YOUNG. As black people of the MAAFA some of these diseases are programmed into our DNA from years of being forced to eat the wrong things and excessive stress and conditions from the effects of chattel slavery; meaning no matter how we live our lives these diseases may be predetermined. However in MANY cases these things are preventable and reversible.
Which is why the ganja thread is so important.
Which is why ital diet AND livity is so important
Which is why meditation and escaping stress is so important
Please be aware. Especially InI black people Maafa. This white world has us out of our natural minds and bodies...literally.
Life over death.
Jah over Babylon
