Macka Diamond Steps Up Her Game
By: Olimatta Taal
Macka Diamond has headed in the direction of adding non-fictional literary author to the number of career accolades that she has built for herself. Her first book "Bun Him," the first novel to represent Reggae/Dancehall culture has been released. The book launch was held at Weekendz on Monday, September 17.
"Bun Him" is the follow up to the single "Bun Him" by Macka Diamond and Blacker, that was a number 1 hit. It spent several weeks on local and international charts. An anthem for many women, it became a very controversial song.
Similar to the song, the book is about a young woman named Sandra who marries for financial gain and is very unhappy with her relationship. Sexually frustrated, she cheats on her husband and gets pregnant by her boyfriend.
 "The book is not about giving a man bun. It is about the problems that men and women face in their relationships," explains Macka. She continues by saying that she does not condone women cheating in their relationships.
A number of people read excerpts from the book or commended Ms. Diamond on her new venture like Lady G, Captain Barkey, Claudette Kemp, Junie Platinum, Queen Paula, Dr. Carolyn Cooper, Prof. Hope, and others.
There were a number of who's who of the Reggae Industry in support of Macka's new book. Voice Mail, D'Angel, Gyptian, Courtney John, Razz & Biggy, and Richie Feelings came out.
"Bun Him" is steamy, exciting and you won't want to put it down once you start reading it. It is a novel that both male and female can relate to and will enjoy. Currently it is available at all bookstores in Jamaica with plans to distribute in the rest of the Caribbean, North America, and Japan.
