Vybrant Pays Tribute To Slain Pregnant Woman

Emerging singjay and Major Links recording artiste Vybrant has recorded a song in tribute to Kayann Lamont whose life was snuffed out by the bullets of a policeman’s gun in Yallahs, St.Thomas a few weeks ago. The song is entitled Strike Again.

The death of Lamont who was reportedly eight months pregnant at the time of the incident, sparked outrage across the nation. In a release to the media, Vybrant outlined the reason why he decided to pay tribute to Lamont. “My purpose in music wouldn’t be necessary if I didn’t write a song about what happened. Kayann is someone that I knew. We grew up in the same community”, Vybrant explained.

Vybrant described the friendship he shared with Lamont as a good one. He pointed to the fact that she was an affectionate person.

“Kayann is a girl in her own world she no really up inna people no inna the mix up and them thing deh still. She would always hold a vibe and give you a little smile and go through. She is a person who was always on the move”, Vybrant recalled.

Vybrant said the news of Lamont’s death hit him like a ton of bricks.

“When me get the news still mi a wonder wah really ago through the officer mind at the time if he was really there fi create a act like that mi a say him mussi zone out or something because mi know the officer as well and mi know Kayann so fi know say the two a them come from the same place it was kinda shocking”, he added.

Vybrant pointed out that the incident has had an effect on him. He has serious concerns about the women across the island.

“Just the fact that she is a woman and fi see that happen to a woman it shows that we are living in troubled times we fraid fi wi little daughter them wehh a come right now, wi little sister them, wi aunty wi mother wi a fret fi them much less wi sons weh a come right now fi know sehh it ago rougher cause if them ago treat a woman so and just the fact sehh shi pregnant it even more serious we are living inna serious times perilous times so wi haffi be more focus and more serious right now so it really break me down mentally”, he confided.

He hopes that by putting out the song Strike Again, some spiritual energy, hope and unity will be achieved by those affected by the incident. Vybrant’s recent recordings include Dirt Poor for Jamie Roberts and YVP Productions; Letter from the Dead; The Law for UIM; Run Away for Daseca Productions; Cry on My Shoulder for Cahban Records; and Give Us a Chance for Randy Rich Records.

“Letter from the Dead is a song that everyone should look out for. This song has a very

inspirational meaning behind it. I won’t say anything more but just listen out for it”, said Vybrant.
