Annotation
The song "Stop the War" by Devon Clarke, (Massive B # MAS 048), a reggae artist, based in New York. This is in the Dancehall reggae genre - "style of Jamaican Music that developed from Reggae in the late 1970s, when the music of the previous Roots Reggae era became more stripped down, with an increased emphasis on pure rhythm". (1) Released in the post-war era, this track referenced Vietnam, comparing it to violence in Jamaica: "them running Jamaica like the Vietnam War".
