Sizzla – Good Love (Official Music Video)

Sizzla is working to bring cultural and historical awareness within his August Town community through his Sizzla Youth Foundation.

“It is paramount that we remind the youths of the community where they are from and the rich history and tradition which they must uphold. They must be aware of the strong links to the fight against slavery as the original settlers in these lands came from the Mona and Papine plantations… so we just need to re-education the community so they know where they are coming from so as to chart the course forward,” said Sizzla.

The artiste is spearheading month-long celebrations for the August Town Emancipation Birthday, commemorating 177 years since the St Andrew community was officially established.

According to Sizzla, his foundation which was founded in 2010, wants residents and persons from outside August Town to be aware of the good that has, and can come from, the area.

“We want to eradicate violence from August Town. This can only be achieved by instilling values which stress Africa and education. We must rejuvenate the minds and with that we can achieve much,” he said.
