New Music by New York Times Bestselling Author Omar Tyree

Omar Tyree, known to millions of book readers as “The Godfather of Urban Fiction,” and author of the urban classic novel, “Flyy Girl,” penned a revolutionary reggae song back in the early summer of 2016 with Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley in mind to perform it. At the time, Barack Obama was still the President of the United States of America, and police brutality was just as rampant then as it is now.

Inspired by Jr. Gong’s Jamaican anthem, “Welcome To Jamrock,” Tyree wrote and referenced “No Bang Bang” as a new American anthem against police brutality in the vein of Jr. Gong’s father, Bob Marley and his classic, “I Shot The Sheriff.” Tyree then shared the song reference with hundreds of music listeners at various poetry clubs and networks. And the listeners all loved it!

So did the track’s producer, the Oakland-based Push Keyz, a big fan of reggae music himself, who layered the moody beat with the familiar bass, horns, drums, police sirens and feel that would make any reggae lover sit up and pay attention. And with Tyree’s writing skills and command of a Jamaican accent, Push Keyz immediately labeled “No Bang Bang” a hit record.

Tyree then met up with Jr. Gong Marley at a small concert performance in Washington, DC, in the following year of 2017 in the hopes that the Marley legend would love the song…
