Guyanese chart topper Nhojj climbs to the top again with his latest single, "The Gay Warrior Song," simultaneously #1 on both "Reggae" and "Out and Proud" charts at CDBaby.

It's an unlikely phenomenon for a gay anthem to grab the #1 spot on a Reggae chart, reggae music having unleashed much homophobia. But it is not the first time for Nhojj. His gay music video "Love" hit the #1 spot on the mainstream MTV Music Top 100 chart earlier this year. And last year BET/Centric congratulated him on being "a black history and a gay history first!"

This time around Nhojj targets homophobia, and donates proceeds to the Society Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination (SASOD), an LGBT Rights organization in Guyana. In writing "The Gay Warrior Song" Nhojj invokes scripture in the name "Jah" (a term for God, widely used in reggae music) as his higher authority.
