Ace dancehall artiste, Patoranking, has disclosed the motive behind his latest body of work titled ‘God Over Everything (GOE).
Speaking in a recent interview, the ‘Wayasay’ progenitor said the reason for the gospel-like title was to draw attention to his belief that God is the reason for our existence.
“I’m somebody that my music depicts my lifestyle, everything that has to be about my upbringing and how I rose to fame,” he said.
“Patoranking generally, the life and times of Patoranking. I got to figure out that a lot of people want to be famous, a lot of people want to be known for different things, for wearing the best designers. Others for having a lot of properties. But you know not everybody knows that despite everything you have, it’s still vanity, it’s still God over everything.
“The album is about love, about God, and it’s about where I come from, and where I’m headed to. In as much as you are trying to dance, just always remember that it is still God over everything. No matter what you possess, no matter what you do in life, it should be a thought that has to go with your day to day activity. No matter the amount of money I have on earth, it is still God. That’s why we chose the title God Over Everything.
