US Virgin Islands reggae singjay Pressure Buss Pipe recently got flak from elders in the Rastafarian community in that country over skimpily clad females in his latest video For You .
“I was getting negative feedback from Rasta community in the US Virgin Islands about the For You video, saying it was overly sexual because we have a pair of sexy twins dancing in short shorts and tight dresses and the Rastas don’t like that. The faith is about upfulness, they don’t like the overly sexual thing with short skirts because it goes against the principles of Rastafari. I explained to the community that it wasn’t a disrespectful thing of women or to the Rastafarian faith and everything was upful, so things are good now,” Pressure Buss Pipe told the Jamaica Observer yesterday.
The single For You was released January 2019 on the Buss Pipe Records imprint. The video was released last month and shot on location in the US Virgin Islands.
He recently released a soca single titled Do it And Done on the Busspipe Records label.
Pressure Buss Pipe has been the cultural ambassador for the US Virgin Islands for the past four years and his role is to promote the tourism in the country which has a population of a little over 100,000.
He said he will be releasing a new album later this year, and has been in the studio recording several tracks. His last album, Red Rose, released in November 2016 peaked at number eight on the Billboard Reggae album chart. The 12-track set features songs including Time Is The Master, Once Again, Lost Without You, Woman Of The Nile, and Moments.
