The rapper spent seven months in Rugby Young Offenders institute after being caught by police with a loaded gun in 2002.

He travelled to Jamaica with Newsround's Laura Jones to find out about the gun terror faced by kids in some parts of the capital Kingston.

He said: "We need to just finish all the gun business, all the violence, all the provocations, all the madness just leave it and let it alone man. Put down the guns."

A charity has got together with some members of the community to allow kids to get together without the fear of violence.

It's base is built in the middle of the road and lets kids play cricket, netball, basketball and football together.

Asher D will be joined by other So Solid members, Heartless Crew and More Fire Crew at a series of Disarm concerts set to take place later in April in the UK.

Those gigs come after gun crime in the UK hit the headlines.
