And while Cadle says kids need school to get that one on one contact with their peers, some recording studios feel that a little less "gunman" music also wouldn't hurt. After the graphic haunt of Dwayne Gabourel killing - a handful of them, along with some artists, took to social media to say they wouldn't be promoting those types of songs anymore.
One studio in Orange Walk, Sector 9, says they have already informed their members that their facilities won't be used to promote violence. The public relations manager, Melissa Cadle, told us today that she believes music has a major influence of young minds and after the murder of an innocent 15-year-old, they're taking a stand against "gunman" music.

"We will record music, we are not saying that no we won't be recording any music. We want positive music, we want good music, you can speak of reality, you can talk about the killings, we can talk about what's going on in our community. What we are not promoting is anybody coming into the studio saying I have a gun and I want to kill, I want to shoot. We are not promoting that. Most of the musicians right now I believe each musician has a bad man tune. We normally don't neglect anyone who wants to record with us, we promote them and we go along with them. we are just saying now that yes, be cognizant of what you are putting into your music, go through your lyrics over and over, make sure that you are sending out a positive message and the percentage of what we have coming into record is I would say sometimes 20% of what we record will have a gun man tune in it and the guys would sing about it, but we have come to realize that the music coming out - we won't blame the music, but we are also taking a stance saying that it might be contributing to it."

"When you speak to some of these artists, what's their reason they give for even wanting to record such a song?"

"It's the in-thing. They follow other artists. The Jamaicans and the Vibes Cartel sing about it, they sing about women, they sing about guns and it's so popular and everybody goes along with the flow."

"How powerful or influential are the lyrics of these songs that promote violence. How powerful are they when they get put out in the world and younger and younger young men end up hearing it?"
Melissa Cadle, PR, Sector 9 Studio
"It's very influential. The artists listen to other international artists. Vibes Cartel sang about Benz. Everybody want to own a Benz after Vives Cartel starting singing about Benz and girls. The artists sing about bling bling and the watch he wears, the type of things he drinks and that becomes a trend. I can only drink certain drinks because that artist drink that drink, I can only wear gucci, because Spice wears only gucci and these are the types of things that music transcends into."
