FiyahTruth believes that message music can inspire the minds of the oppressed, especially those of African ancestry, so that they can overcome obstacles and claim their rightful place as rulers of their own destiny in the world.

He is pushing the hard-hitting single, Hostyle Takeover, to wake people up to the mission ahead.

“The feedback has been amazing, the inspiration is the dismantling of the unfair Babylon system which is killing them off little by little like long term exposure to radiation, degrading their health, their culture, the very essence of what makes them human. This cancer is invisible and toxic, poisoning their lives, affecting them negatively, dem need to wake up and live, right now,” he said.

The single, released last year on the Black Star Liner label, is the lead project from his debut EP of the same name. The EP features songs such as the inspirational Father Jah, Me Weed and Me Woman, and Married Woman featuring Daneek.

Born Sean Thompson, he lived with his parents at Gore Terrace, Kingston 10, until the age of seven when he moved to Kildare, Buff Bay, in Portland where he lived with his grandmother.

In his early teens, he attended Port Antonio High before migrating to the US at age 13. He completed his secondary school education at Ramsey High School in New Jersey. At the age of 18, he entered the US Army and began to write songs while he was stationed overseas.

“I had always loved music, long before I even knew that I could create music,” he said.
