Zipper Z writes in with the scoop on the New Skerrit Bwoy track and his conversion to Christ. Her last piece for PTSOTL was Is Lana Del Rey pro-pedophilia?

Skerrit Bwoy, the former daggering icon of the world, and front man for Major Lazer, wants his songs to convert electronic music listeners into Christians. “I am creating an army of saints,” he told me. “Creating a crew you can take into heaven.” It's a big step from last fall when he told me he felt his hyper-sexual dance daggering, was creating a mass of of sexually deviant soldiers.
Unlike the countless musicians who have found Christ before him, Skerrit Bwoy has completely given up his craft as both a dancer, and selector (read: DJ). The dancing was unavoidably sexy. The club scene unavoidably sinful. And although his fame as a West Indian dancer was unparalleled, he gave it all up, took up producing, and started the Electric Gospel. 

His first track "Pon de Cross," a re-mix of the Major Lazer track, "Pon de Floor," is a statement of rebirth. The lyrics are based on Luke 9:23, “And he said to them all, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”

Skerrit Bwoy, hopes the tune will lead others to follow Christ, “Get to heaven and turn it up in there.”
