The often overlooked indigenous genre Rake and Scrape is not forgotten it seems as high-schooler Kemuel Cox releases the new single ‘Why you Marry Me?’.
Ahead of the Regatta 56th festival, the South Caicos native pens a track laden with sorrow. Written from the point of view of a slighted husband, we hear the story of how a wife cheats on her husband and steals his money.
Cox is a musical prodigy who first became known to some, after winning the 2020 Turks and Caicos Tourist Board video competition. The video was scored with a self-written original song when he was just thirteen years old.
He is now back with another original song, this time going ‘In da Bush’ three years later.
Turks and Caicos Twitter reacted with positive reviews to the release, which is being said to rival Keno Hall’s hit ‘Man in Law‘.
"Why You Marry Me" like it come to take out "Man In Law" 😂
