Keznamdi Honours Rastafarian History in Powerful Short Film with Jesse Royal, Mortimer, and Kenzic on the Coral Gardens Massacre

In a world quick to forget, Keznamdi insists on remembering. Not just as an artiste, but as a cultural steward, a rebel with roots, and a voice that echoes the soul of Jamaica’s most sacred truths.

On the haunting anniversary of the Coral Gardens Massacre—“Bad Friday”—Keznamdi chose more than remembrance. He released Justice, a cinematic call to consciousness, co-starring Errol Edwards and featuring powerful cameos by Mortimer, Jesse Royal, and Kenzic.

It’s not just a film; it’s a reckoning. A visceral account of the 1963 state-sponsored violence that left over 150 Rastafarians brutalized for nothing more than living their truth. In every frame, Justice pulses with defiance, grief, and a righteous flame that refuses to dim.

“We nah forget,” Keznamdi says—on screen, on stage, and in the streets. His Instagram tribute summed it up: “You can’t erase what built the foundation.” That foundation is Rastafari—its music, its message, its unbreakable resistance.

But Keznamdi isn’t stuck in the past. Just weeks ago, he called out the government’s paltry $1,000 JMD minimum wage hike. “Who can live pan $15,000 a week?” he demanded, voicing the struggles of the working class with the same urgency he brings to his art.

Now, as his next album Blood and Fyah simmers for release, Keznamdi is setting the tone for the next chapter in his career which is surrounded by Reggae music. His upcoming single Bun Di Ganja, with Mavado and Marlon Asher, blends fire and freedom—challenging policies while celebrating ganja’s deep cultural roots.
