Bahamian, Mr. J teams up with Canadian born singer, Sydney Bernknopf to present his new single, No Cat Calling. The duo delivers a message advocating on behalf of women worldwide, calling for an end of street harassment.

The song echos the emotions of fear, discomfort and annoyance that women feel when cat called, prompting for full walls of defense to be erected. Accompanied with a sense of aggression from cat callers, women feel that what seems to be fun and OK to a man, could quickly escalate into something more serious than just a man screaming out at them for their attention. Mr. J urges guilty parties worldwide to develop a sense of respect and humanity, to treat women as human beings and not a piece of meat to be sampled and handled in whatsoever manner.

No Cat Calling was inspired by a Youtube video which displays a young woman walking through the city streets of Manhattan. During her walk through, she was silently followed by a young man walking alongside her (very creepy, as if he knew her), scolded and received unwarranted remarks from strangers to gain her attention. The walk through depicted experiences women worldwide encounter, highlighting the need for a movement against such behavior.

Mr. J lays the foundation for an amiable discourse, hoping to gain the ears of the offenders, would be offenders and sympathizers. As taught to humanity in the scriptures by Jesus Christ, "do unto others", Mr. J says that if men would resolute in their mind to honor God in their lives, that honor will transcend the temptations and impulses to make sexual advances and remarks to women. Adherence to the words from Christ, concerning a man fantasizing sex with a woman to whom he is not married, deemed as fornication, will elevate the spirituality and consciousness of men faithful to pleasing God. The song is available for download on Itunes, Amazon, Cdbaby and other popular music sites. Djs,music directors and radio personalities can email mrJreggae@gmail.com for radio copy.
