Horsemouth; MY FANS I NEED YOUR HELP

[@lawrencenjawe9875]

Sad to know so many Jamaican reggae face this same predicament despite gifting the world with such outstanding,creative music... Junior Byles, I-Roy, Mixer Scientist and many others.... What on earth is the Jamaican Music Association doing.?...Is there even one?

[@dieselqueen]

Give the king his due! They did the same thing to my father, and he died depressed with no house, and no accolades. He and horsemouth were idren and fellow musicians building reggae riddims for Coxone Dodd and other producer guys from back in the 60s who robbed several reggae musicians. When Derrick Harriot did the tune "Penny For Your Song", it was the reality that singers and musicians faced at the hands of producers who have been getting big ups and rich over the years off the blood, sweat, and tears of these great musicians and artists. My father played the guitar on Penny For Your Song which was one of countless songs he played on. Please if there is a good lawyer who is willing to help, please help the man. When my parents had no where to live when I was a baby, Horsemouth let us stay at his place. If I were rich, Jah know I'd help him. Jamaican government please do more for the musical gems of Jamaica. I already lost my father two years ago, many others have passed on, Horsemouth is one of those who are still here. Help him and other musicians and help preserve the legacy of Reggae music, THE HEARTBEAT OF THE PEOPLE! JAH LIVE.

A true real Jamaican 🇯🇲 ICON before Bujumbura Before Chronixx Before Vibez Cartel before many there was Horsemouth let’s help this man

[@DhamiriMusic]

I used to listen to your song Herb Vendor growing up in Kuwait in the Middle East, and when i immigrated to Canada out of all the people i met there is one i found to be a brother in life we will say, like a best friend and i nicknamed him and to this day only call him Full Dread Sally, he is pakistani but grew up in a heavily jamaican / west indian neighbourhood so he only listens to roots and dancehall, not even hip hop. The music is so powerful and meaningful compared to much of todays music particularly content wise.

[@reelspilltv]

Give Leroy Wallace his dues!!! Pay Horsemouth his royalties!!!

[@winstonjhon3687]

[@jasonwilliams0306]

Your the thief he is talking about

[@kf9926]

Sound like you need to give back

[@Tropicaya]

Protect yourself, Horsemouth Wallace. The money means less to you than the wicked who stole it. They will kill to keep it. The fans will reward you. Let the wicked wallow in his wickedness and keep yourself uncorrupted. Peace and LOVE, Legendary one. -Raz

[@radiog48]

This man is real,I always love his movie from I was a little one

[@BkuBrown]

Royalties arent coming. Horsemouth is literally the face of regggae The current industry of reggae media and platforms need to get in touch with the elder, the festival scene need to get in touch with the elder, thats where money deh Someone also said Patreon, books etc. Even a cashapp for fans to contribute directly

[@TheReggaetube]

Jamaica give this legend his part!

[@seanyboy....7448]

The talents never ever got paid...!! The Horse should be living like a king in his old age right now..!? 👑👈🏾👈🏻💯 Abuse of power and wealth by the studios and record companies...🎙 Pure Greed.....!! 🐖💸🐖.°.•.👈🏾👈🏻💯

[@ericgourio403]

A cry from the heart no doubt ... There are lawyers, there are laws to recognize HIS rights in terms of 'royalties' in showbiz. I rubbed shoulders with this great artist, and I was able to appreciate his performances with various Reggae groups during international tours. I also saw how money could burn his fingers. Today, and like many others, he holds out his hand. What a pity !

[@nyakwarObat]

Explain the burn his fingers part, or maybe I should say specify

[@cleopatra1633]

You are right, he is not entitled to anything. He did not write the music and does not own the house and the land. It does not work like that.

[@ericgourio403]

@@nyakwarObat You don't understand the expression: "The money burns your fingers"? Maybe I should have written that money are soon parted...

[@lamargrant8151]

Mr. Wallace if i had the money i would make sure you're good. I would come to Jamaica and make sure you're good because it isn't just what is being done to you. I follow you and you're a boss drummer one of the best to have done it and you deserve your dues. I pray almighty Jah will see you get your dues. I hope one soon day i can come visit you and have a conversation. They can't sell your house if you've occupied that place for a while. Please get your legal advice you're not a beggar you're world famous. I wish you could do tours around the Caribbean teaching your craft to us. See Sister Nancy now get her dues after so many years. Unjust doesn't go unseen by Jah. Please there has to be someone to pass his cause need a good human being

[@desalines]

It’s a shame, even Ashton Barret had to work almost up to his death. The govt should step in and are care of these legends like they do for cricketers in other Caribbean islands.

[@onelove1968]

"Mon thief da bike".

[@samthesmartfella]

Mr. Wallace was everything resolved? Whats the status on your house?

[@NoLefTurnUnStoned.]

Forget royalties. Session musicians only get them for writing significant chord arrangement, melodies or lyrics. Session drummers don’t get royalties. He should be getting paid as an ambassador for Jamaican culture and they should make a film about him. Crowd funding also.

[@cleopatra1633]

Exactly, he is not entitled to anything. He got paid for drumming. Just like millions of other people he worked hard and is poor when he is old. The world is not fair. In his case however it would be great if he could be an ambassador and they help him with another home, because the house and land is not his anyway.

[@Baking_baked]

Its more than the royalties for the music. He received nothing for rockers and other films. Was used but he invented the rockers rhythm and got zero credit for it.

[@richwall6304]

Ah Leroy, I wish I had legal skills, it would be an honour to help you out. Your contribution to Jamaican music is massive and legendary, and you’re a good honest humble Rastaman, you deserve to be comfortable in your old age. I’m not a rich man but I will send a small contribution. I wish you every success in getting some justice and relief. The reggae business is savage.. 😞

[@twinkletoes7248]

So much love to you Sir. Just seen this. What is the update. Bless 🙏

[@hawaiiankingdom4186]

This makes my heartache, our legend Horsemouth not receiving nothing. Wicked blood clot dem, who no take care of him for all his efforts. Sadly this is true for many legends even in our Hawaiian music. I myself have this same problem on a small scale compared to this reggae great. Sending aloha horsemouth and I will get the word out and kokua however I can. Ras Bird.

[@sanetalking]

Im a musician too, who played for Rita Marley in years ago. I met you in Half Way Tree many years ago. I live in Florida now, and I own a music sale web system. Do you have recordings I could sell for you? I could provide a free account and setup things on the web. Perhaps even a free tutoring access page for people who wants to learn to play reggae drums.

[@jahkibo]

What's your go fund account information Horsey? Virgin islands showing love. It hurts my hurt to see you in such situation.

[@cleopatra1633]

Who needs to pay him and for what? He got paid for playing but is not entitled to anything else because he did not write the songs. He also does not own the land and the house. It would be nice if common people helped him out just because what he means for Jamaica

[@andrewhenry4168]

Not to mention all the Paublo Spear ,Tubby's Inner that u have recorded.I have spread the truth about the real reggae Rastaman like you . Where can I contact you to help?

[@geoffhummerstone]

Iley...

[@TheSensitom]

more strength rocker!!!!!!!!

[@cleopatra1633]

He got paid for playing. If he did not write any songs he is not entitled to anything. Also not the house and the ground he lives on. It is not his. This is how it works. It would be a good thing to help him but not because he deserves it, its not a good reason.

[@barringtonsmith9147]

Noel Redding said I played for jimi Hendrix at recording studio I want my royalties, the answer to him was "PROVE IT" everyone knows the music business is as corrupt as corrupt can be ,even to this day

[@TheUNORGANIZED]

Make NFT song bits with backstory

[@motreble]

Sad to say bro the music business back then was slavers days, if nothing was signed on paper there is nothing reclaim. Let this be a lesson to young musicians sign your own contracts and your checks.

[@cleopatra1633]

We are all modern slaves. Millions of people that worked for their family and society their whole lives and end up without money or a good pension.

[@michaelgrant5312]

I respect and rate you Leroy but you were ignorant about certain things in the music people employed you as a session musician on a thing called work for hire meaning they paid you to perform on their songs so under the law you cant get any royalties from the recordings, the only way you can be paid is if you played and you got no financial compensation from playing, i am in sympathy with you though
