Mikey Pelpa tells 'Mama Don't Worry At All'

Singer Mikey Pelpa's conscious single 'Mama Don't Worry At All' on the Danger Zone Music Group and Untouchable Productions labels is touching the hearts of mothers around the world with its heart-rending lyrics that cut to the core of the struggles of a lot of mothers.

Mama don't worry at all
Things will be better, oh oh
Mama don't worry at all
I'm gonna make it better somehow

Pelpa sings of the plight of the struggling mothers and he captures it in the music video that was shot at various inner-cities, with scenes showing the struggles some mothers are going through to take care of their kids.

The music video, a Creative Vibes Production, was directed by Pelpa himself, with Dwayne Dwyer and Mikhail 'Tin' Williams as directors of photography.

The single 'Mama Don't Worry At All' was produced by Roderick 'Penny Bling' Hamilton and Michael 'Mikey Pelpa' Lynch, executive producer Delmar 'Della' Drummond, with instrumentals done by Equinoxx.

Working with producer Penny Bling, Mikey Pelpa has released several quality, positive tunes that have been getting international airplay. 'Emergency', his collaboration with Limey Murray, on the Jam Down rhythm for Danger Zone, is blowing up the airwaves and the internet. The music video for the single hit number three on the Tempo Cross Caribbean Countdown.

Pelpa later dropped 'Parental Guide' on the Cloud Nine rhythm, positively influencing the youths to never forget the good teachings they receive from their parents. 'Say What U' on Danger Zone's Payback riddim was another big hit, leading into 'What Kinda Livity Is This', 'A Nuh Money Mek I Know You' and now 'Mamma Don't Worry At All'.

Pelpa has also been hitting up the stage show circuit, performing on several events.

Mikey Pelpa believes that his music will positively influence everyone who hears it. He wants to cause change and bring about worldwide "Unification Through Music", in fulfilling the Danger Zone mission statement.

About JAH CURE :

Born in the parish of Hanover, Jamaica but raised in Kingston Town, golden voiced singer Jah Cure (real name Siccature Alcock) became involved with reggae music as a teenager, rapidly rose to fame in the late '90s only to have his meteoric climb to the top halted by a jail sentence. In 1997 and only 18 years old, Jah Cure released the culturally minded single "King In This Jungle", a duet with Sizzla and produced by Beres Hammond. The single was a pivotal moment for Cure for a couple reasons. Hammond would become the singer's biggest champion while Sizzla was to introduce Cure to the world of the Bobo Dread, a sect of Rastafari that usually lives communally, strives to point out social injustice, and has experienced numerous shakedowns by the Jamaican police. A steady stream of singles - most produced by Hammond - had more and more Jamaicans singing the praises of this new singer.

PATO BANTON "Never Give In: 20th Anniversary Edition"

About PATO BANTON:
In the Mid 1980’s a young and hungry Pato Banton was making noise in the UK and an integral part in establishing a vital Reggae culture in the European nation. After rehearsals and shows around the UK and Europe and a classic Mad Professor collaboration already under his belt, Pato went on to record his second album “Never Give In!” It is this record that remains Pato’s best selling record to date and the most celebrated by the numerous American musicians who have come to proclaim him among their greatest influences. The Beastie Boys famously sampled the lyric “I do not sniff the coke I only smoke sensimilla” on their Paul’s Boutique record. And, Queen Latifah’s biggest hit “U.N.I.T.Y.” was a direct interpolation of Pato’s original lyrics as well. Everyone from Sublime to Jack Johnson to Damian Marley to countless others continue to hold Pato and his influence in the highest of regard.
