Oje Ken Ollivierre popularly known as Protoje, is a contemporary reggae singer, and songwriter from Jamaica. His mother is Jamaican singer, Lorna Bennett, best known for her 1972 rendition of "Breakfast in Bed". His father is a former calypso king from the island nation of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Protoje was first discovered by many people for his 2005 mixtape published Lyrical Overdose Volume 1 . Recorded were mostly hip-hop influenced songs. With a guest appearance by Busy Signal, however, his future career was leveled as reggae and dancehall artist.In 2010, Protoje began working with Don Corleon Records, run by his cousin and popular Jamaican producer Don Corleon. After releasing "Dread", "JA" and "Roll" in 2010, Protoje's debut album, entitled The Seven Year Itch, was released on 25 January 2011. The first single off the album dubbed "Arguments" (2009) was responsible for his early popularity in Jamaica. In 2011, he released another single off the album entitled "Rasta Love" featuring Ky-Mani Marley. "The Seven Year Itch" charted no. 2 in Canada, no. 3 in the USA and no. 4 in France.
A music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes. Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. There are also cases where songs are used in tie in marketing campaigns that allow them to become more than just a song. Tie ins and merchandising could be used in toys are marketing campaigns for food and other products. Although the origins of music videos date back to musical short films that first appeared in the 1920s, they came into prominence in the 1980s when MTV based their format around the medium. Prior to the 1980s, these works were described by various terms including "illustrated song", "filmed insert", "promotional (promo) film", "promotional clip", "promotional video", "song video", "song clip" or "film clip". Since the creation and increased popularity of YouTube, mainstream artists now promote new music videos by releasing trailers of short promos on the site for their upcoming song and music video. Consequentially, YouTube has been converted into a social media platform for celebrities and artists to market themselves to their fans and audiences.

Blood Money is the latest release from Jamaican Reggae singer Protoje. The song lyrics provide hard-hitting, raw and unapologetic commentary on the current state of Jamaica, touching on several social injustices that have afflicted Jamaican society. Protoje describes the air of discrimination, classism, and oppression prevalent in the Jamaican political landscape, calling out corrupt practices, and conveys the meaningful message to his audience of awareness, activism and the need to call for change and accountability.

It's Gonna Be

[Chorus:]
My Mommy said From The first Day That she hold my head
That I was gonna be Dread So Know I'm gonna be Dread
My Mommy Said From the first day that she hold ma head
That I was gonna be Dread so now I'm gonna be Dread
[Verse 1:]
Hockey Jersey inna Heat, Patrick Ewing on the Feet, Buju Banton on the Beat, you remember that?

Mi just a learn say rubbers a no pencil top, I pencil that, I write it out now, bet you say them fight it out now
When a no now man a fight with Po Po, Police leave ma Colleagues Please
Soldiers leave the green inna can like Folgers

Conceal the smell collect it and unseal it then unleash it
Till the first mill reaching in
NO sleep we bleaching fi make money like lee-chin
Or at least him brother them
So mi can try get a superbuss till the money surplus like superplus,
Is a Must!
[Chorus:]
My Mommy said From The first Day That she hold my head
That I was gonna be Dread So Know I'm gonna be Dread
My Mommy Said From the first day that she hold ma head
That I was gonna be Dread so now I'm gonna be Dread
[Verse 2:]
I used t get a bounce on ma cheque, but now I get a cheque everytime mi track a bounce pon u deck.
Plus I get a nod and a bounce from u neck, and a ooow she pronounce when she bounce pon me
A 1000 for the ounce of the brown on a stick or a stalk or a stem but the pound do the trick for me
Full a so much ganja talk just come in from mi ganja walk
Oh yes it is pon me
The lyrics make dem coversate it police want fi confiscate it
When dem see it pon me
But squaddy say him love mi music and that must be why me use it
So him leave it pon me
So mi leave promptly and go back a the yard to go back and record
Cause diggy lean pon me
No sleep we hunting fi make money like bunting fi achieve this one thing
Cause.
It's Gonna Be
What is it gonna be
I said It's gonna Be
Telling You It's Gonna Be
It's Gonna be, Who gonna be
We Gonna be, It's gotta be
I gotta be Dread Dread

From the First time I show ma head, I gotta be Dread
