Quan Nelson x Mackeehan Ratatah - Reggae Tastemaker

“RATATAH” BY QUAN NELSON X MACKEEHAN HIGHLIGHTS THE REALITIES OF GHETTO LIFE

“Ratatah” is a music track and video that has brought to light the realities of ghetto life. The music video, produced by Addis Records and directed by Quan Nelson showcases the struggles and hardships of individuals living in poverty-stricken neighbourhoods.

The use of Bunny Wailer’s “Rise and Shine” instrumental gives the song a soulful feel that transports the listener on a profound journey.

The song’s lyrics are a tribute to those who have persevered through the challenging circumstances of living in the ghetto. They give a voice to the voiceless and shine a light on their daily struggles.

Through powerful visuals and soulful melodies, Quan Nelson and Mackeehan have created a call to action for everyone to strive towards a more equitable and just society.

This music video reminds us that we must do more to support those struggling to make ends meet and provide them with the necessary resources to succeed. It is a powerful depiction of the realities of ghetto life that everyone needs to see.
