Pressure Buss Pipe Rallies The People With The ‘Time is Now’
Reggae artist Pressure Buss Pipe has issued a rallying cry to the human race on his latest single, Time is Now, to become more self-aware on issues of race, health and identity as the global pandemic drags on.
“I am just getting the people’s mindset ready to think about the future, and being prepared to tackle life itself in these challenging times and I believe that the time is now. There is a new urgency for self-awareness and health-awareness and we have to get active for the betterment of the human race,” the artist whose real name is Delyno Brown, said.
The single was released on February 17th on the Waggy Ras label. The song is the lead single for an album that is slated for release in the near future.
“The Time is Now single is part of a larger project, I have recorded a few songs. I just work on my music, and create great music one step at a time. I don’t have everything figured out yet till we have the music , then we can look at what we have and tell if we have an album,” he said.
Pressure Buss Pipe released his eighth album, ‘Heights of Greatness’ two years ago and that album was granted Grammy consideration. He hopes to maintain this same level of excellence.
Producer Roger Binns of Waggy Ras Records believes that this album will be a remarkable one.
“About nine tracks are complete so far. We believe that this album is going to be very influential because it is a creative journal of ideas describing the necessary mindset required to survive a pandemic. This global pandemic has changed our world and Pressure’s call for self-awareness is timely because we all have to be resilient to make it through this crisis,” Binns said.
