IPD Green (given name Keith Green) is from the community of Islington. He launched his recording career in 2014 with the release of single titled Signs of The Times. He is also known for the songs A Great Day, She Loves Me, and Bless Me Jah Jah.

The US-based Dancehall artiste IPD Green is calling on the government of Jamaica to do more to alleviate poverty in the country. “It’s been 60 years since Jamaica gained independence and I think by now our leaders should have fixed many of the social problems that are plaguing our people, especially poverty. I feel very sad every time I visit my homeland and see people begging on the streets and children hustling when they should be in school. I think everyone in Jamaica should be able to enjoy a better standard of living after 60 years of independence,” said the artiste.

IPD Green is currently promoting a brand new single titled Hard Times which was released on his IPD Records imprint on the 12th of January.

“I wrote this song to express how I feel about the crime and poverty in Jamaica and other parts of the world. I know that it might offend some people, but the truth must be told. The people living in the ghettos need more opportunities. It’s time for a change,” said IPD Green.

Hard Times is the follow-up single to his breakthrough single titled Level Level which was released last year.

“Level Level is still getting a lot of rotation, and I want to keep the momentum going with this new single. I’m getting ready to launch a full-scale promotion campaign for it. This year I’m going all out with my career. I’m not easing up,” he said.
