On the heels of Buju Banton making history with “Long Walk To Freedom” concert, the GRAMMY winning artist and his sons are tackling social conscious issues aimed at Jamaica political atmosphere, a sentiment echoed by many countries worldwide. Produced by Billboard charting producer Markus Myrie under his imprint label “Markus Records”, the track is the first single from Buju Banton since his release and the first single from Markus forthcoming debut album slated to be released spring/summer 2019. The respective artists in their own rights each wrote their verse on “False Pretense”.  “This song came about from a conversation, it created a vibe and the vibe created the music. False Pretense is about an ongoing “norm” for Jamaica’s political atmosphere that has over the years continued to spill over on the citizens of the country.  The message that should be received is that as a country we need governance that the average person living here can feel. As a people we have been silent about a lot of mismanagement. It’s time we rid the “7 day talks” and start taking action as a people.  They say we have democracy, but what we feel is dictatorship. Every party prioritizes their own benefits and not the people’s needs. In my opinion this song serves as a wake up call.“ Explained Markus
