On his latest song, God Nuh Wear Pajamas, Audley Rollen shows disdain for con artists of all types. Politicians, scammers and music industry bosses feel his wrath in the self-produced single which was released in June.
An ordained minister of religion, Rollen walked away from a secular career over 20 years ago to preach the Word of God. His directness, however, has not wavered.
Rollen, who lives in South Florida, describes these people as “as seasoned scammers” who come in different forms. As a man of faith and longstanding broadcaster on WAVS 1170 AM, he is in contact with persons of indifferent conduct, some of whom inspired God Nuh Wear Pajamas.
“What I want them, the scammers, to understand is this. You can’t fool all the people all the time, God is not sleeping. He does not wear pajamas, and make no mistake one day you will have to pay,” he said.
Rollen and his wife Dawn Marie, who is also a minister, are pastors of Wisdom Sabbath Ministry in Plantation, South Florida. Prior to embracing Christianity, he was a reggae artiste whose recording career started in the mid-1960s.
In the early 1970s, he was a member of The Hippy Boys and Youth Professionals bands in East Kingston.
Those aggregations included talented musicians such as the Barrett brothers, Aston and Carlton, bassist Robbie Shakespeare, keyboardists Tyrone Downie and Bernard “Touter” Harvey.
His biggest hit during that period was Repatriation Is A Must, produced by Lloyd “The Matador” Daley.
