McKada Take On Catcalling with “Psst”

McKada Takes on Verbal Harassment Culture in Jamaica with Her New Single ‘Psst,’ Amplifying the Voices of Women Who Face Daily Abuse, from Catcalls to Insults When They Don’t Respond as Expected.
“Everywhere a just Psst… Pon Di Road a just Psst… When we walk a just Psst…
Everyday a just Psst… me nah go gamble wid me peace of mind” Kingston, Jamaica – It takes a strong woman to call out what is often dismissed as a minor issue in Jamaica but is, in reality, a pervasive challenge faced by women every day.

Recording Artist McKada shows her strength and amplifies her voice with her powerful and impactful new single, ‘Psst.’ This bold anthem confronts verbal harassment, a sensitive topic that reflects larger societal issues, including the alarming rise in violence against women, abuse, rape, and sexual assault. “Many women, including myself, have had to navigate these situations while simply going about their day,” McKada shared. There’s also a fear of being attacked if we choose not to respond. This song is my way of saying, ‘Enough is enough.’
