VICE: Corruption, Cocaine, & Murder in Trinidad (Video)
May 22, 2014
VICE News visited the slums of Port of Spain and spoke with police, activists, community leaders, and gangsters to understand the country’s decade-plus spike in killings [more than tripling over the past 15 years]. Many of the murders are attributed to ruthless and politically connected street gangs who control territories that are sometimes no larger than a city block. The gangs fight over lucrative government contracts meant to provide social services and combat unemployment.
But gang violence is just where the problems start. Trinidad has become an important stop for drugs headed to West Africa and the United States. The “big fish” keeping and growing the country into a mega narco-state — the political and business elite.

Another hype music video that showcases the energy and dance steps that make Caribbean music spread over the globe. This video even starts off with Konshens actual mother doing a lil cameo (good touch). Remember we had an interview with Konshens and the ‘Do Something’ theme is not to physically clash or war with anybody but just take it to the dancehfloor.
