Life Too Short

Soulful Reggae star, Gramps Morgan
 has taken a stance in solidarity with
 the family of Trayvon Martin, the 17
 year old boy recently killed in Florida.
 To date, the man who shot and killed
 Trayvon has not been charged. So in
 an effort to support the Martin
 family's demand for justice, Dada Son
 is donating a portion of the proceeds
 single, 'Life Too Short'.
 "Yes Rasta!" American-Jamaican
 crooner, Gramps Morgan is
 unleashing another anthem with his
 unique brand of 'Rockaz'. His first
 single 'Life Too Short'emerges from
 his upcoming second, solo album,
 Reggae Music Lives which will be
 released on April 24 2012, in time for
 Mother's Day.
 Penned with his brother Peetah
 Morgan, 'Life Too Short' was co-
 and keyboardist, Llamar 'Riff Raff'
 Brown (Stephen Marley).
 Gramps Morgan has the gift of
 aimed precisely at the listener's soul.
 Through song, Morgan reminds us to
 live this life while we still have it.
 Gramps says 'Life Too Short' is
 simply "a song of comfort", and as a
 firm believer in delivering music to
 heal humanity, 'Life Too Short' raises
 consciousness of the fragility and
 sanctity of life.
 tend toward the positive in all
 situations, so when he belts out
 "...Life too short fi a stress di small
 things when we know
 Jah bless me with everything /Life
 too short fi a worry bout bad mind
 when the world a suffer from war and
 crime..." he means that he draws his
 strength from Jah/God.
 Believing in a greater power than self,
 Gramps urges the listener to stop
 wasting time sweating the small stuff
 and to let go of grudges and "bad
 mind" (a Jamaican idiom that refers to
 being envious of, or grudging
 someone).
 Gramps' perspective on the murder of
 Trayvon Martin is that of a father and
 an American citizen. In a recent
 statement the Centric Soul Train
 nominee said: "I couldn't imagine that
 ever happening to my son." He's
 speaking of his eldest, Jemere. "As a
 father of a 16 year old... I don't know
 what I would do if I was in that
 situation, but I know that justice must
 be served."
 "We have been following the tragedy
 that has happened with Trayvon,"
 explains Wendy Morgan, Gramps'
 manager, "and after reading a report
 that he was a lover of Reggae music,
 it humbled us to have someone of
 that age love our music. We wanted
 to do our part to pay respect to his
 young life and contribute to help
 keep Trayvon's memory and legacy
 alive."
 'Life Too Short' was recorded in
 Kingston, Jamaica at Grafton Studio
 and Dada Son Recording Studio in
 Atlanta Georgia
