Gassy Dread has taken a stand for peace through music, emphasizing its power as a unifying weapon. With Prime Minister Gaston Browne in mind, he highlights that the significant challenges facing Antigua are not local conflicts but global issues like climate change, poverty, and the exploitative systems burdening small islands.
Together with Empress Maria, they are rallying Antigua’s youth to rise and take action in safeguarding the planet and each other. Their resonant message is clear: "Put it down. Pick up the future." It serves as a prompt to abandon not only weapons and violence but also hatred, divisiveness, and anything else that draws communities apart.
The call to youth is not merely about changing the narrative but about cultivating a promising future where Antigua becomes a beacon of inspiration. Through their music and words, they encourage the new generation to take charge, advocating for love, unity, and a commitment to leading by example.
