Munga Honorable Tackles Domestic Violence With ‘Move On’ (Nah Mad Ova Nuh Gyal Pt. 2)

Jamaican authorities recently appealed to the public to help them stop domestic violence against women. The appeal came as the amount of incidents of violence against women, including deaths, reached an all-time high. Several well-known Dancehall artistes and public figures joined the campaign to highlight the social ill plaguing the island.

Munga Honorable is trying to do his part through music. He recently released a track on YouTube called Move On (Nah Mad Ova Nuh Gyal Pt. 2). He begins the song by addressing the issue directly. In fact the first line is: “My youth, doh kill the gyal them.”

He also advises women to stay away from tricking men into relationships and accepting gifts from them, if they know that they are not romantically interested. He goes on to tell men it’s not the end of the world if a woman leaves them and encourages them to be strong and simply move on. He reminds men that they don’t own women no matter what the situation may be.

“Ah not the end of the world dog, get yuhself another girl, move on,” he sings.

Munga uses the song to appeal directly to males who cannot handle relationship issues and implores them to also not think that suicide is an option. This may be a reference to the January 12 case that highlighted how terrible the domestic violence issue is in Jamaica. The case involved Jamaican Defence Force Corporal Doran McKenzie, who chopped and shot his common-law wife before killing himself in Portmore, St Catherine. His common-law wife was identified as Suzanne Easy.

He manages to deliver the serious topic on a catchy rhythm and the song is sure to engage many young men and hopefully help them to think twice before hurting the women that they are involved with.

In his usual style he also has fun with the track, even though it’s such a heavy topic. In one line he says: “Now shorty gone make Addi cry Seet yah”, which is a likely a reference to Vybz Kartel’s lead single Then You & Me on his latest album ‘To Tanesha’ which is dedicated to his wife, Shorty.

Munga ends the song by saying: “Jamaica, world, we say no domestic violence, tell them again stop this deadly cycle.”

The song was released on January 18 and already has over 60, 000 views and the fans who have commented are grateful that he took the time to address the issue.

One fan said: “Fans request fulfilled in less than 3…. Song a fire like a 🚀🚀🚀🚀…. “Anuh the world, Just MOVE ONE”… SONG A🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥@mungahonorable,” another added: “Just move on..no violence against woman👸 munga you fine it again hilltop 2020 if you think munga fine it alike👇”
