Review by Rigoberto Marcano

Police In Jamaica by Peter Metro: A Raw Dancehall Punch to the Gut Alright, let’s get one thing straight—Peter Metro doesn’t mess around. His album Police In Jamaica slaps you in the face with its gritty realism and raw energy. This isn’t some polished studio fluff; it’s a no-holds-barred snapshot of life on the streets of Jamaica. Backed by Jah Life Time Records and produced by H. Wright and P. Chin, this record is as authentic as it gets. And trust me, once you hear it, you won’t forget it. First up, the titular track “Police In Jamaica.” Damn, this song hits different. It’s not just music—it’s a statement, a vibe, a middle finger to systemic oppression. The lyrics cut deep, painting vivid pictures of harassment and resistance. You can feel the tension in every beat, every word spit out by Metro like he’s lived it (and chances are, he has). When that bassline drops, it’s not just dancehall—it’s warfare for your ears. I remember this track because it sticks to your ribs. It’s angry, real, and unapologetic. If you’ve ever felt powerless against authority, this tune will light a fire under your ass. Then there’s “Police In Jamaica (Version),” which flips the original into something even darker. Stripped-down but heavy as hell, this version strips away all the extras and leaves you staring at the skeleton of the song. It’s haunting, man. Like hearing an echo of the same struggle from another angle. The stripped-back production gives Metro’s voice more room to breathe, and damn if it doesn’t sound like he’s spitting venom. These two tracks together? They’re a one-two punch that’ll leave you reeling. Now, here’s the kicker—this album ain’t perfect. Some might call it rough around the edges, but that’s exactly why it works. It’s not trying to be pretty or palatable. It’s raw, unfiltered truth wrapped in a dancehall beat. Listening to it feels less like entertainment and more like eavesdropping on someone’s fight for survival. So, what’s the takeaway? Maybe it’s this: Music doesn’t always have to make you feel good to be great. Sometimes it needs to piss you off, shake you up, remind you what’s real. Peter Metro does that with Police In Jamaica. Oh, and hey—if the cops show up while you’re blasting this album, don’t say we didn’t warn ya.
