Peace and Blessings All…
About a week ago some of you who are connected with me through my social networks responded to a post I put up about my mother…
“Spoke to my mother a couple of days a go… she was reminding me about the time when we were riding in the car, before she transitioned to the ancestral plane… I had just recorded this track on this beat I got from a kid in Iceland and I was listening back to the mix. As we rode along she asked who is that singing…. I looked over and said its me… She said you are getting very good and I love this song.”
Well the song in which I was speaking of is called “I-Preciated (I Have 2 Say)” and I wrote if for my wife, children, parents, bredren, and sistren who keep me strong and pushing FORWARD… Sometimes I get in a funk and can be kinda tough to deal with…We all can be at times. For those of you who ALWAYS SUPPORT A BROTHER in his times of frustration and doubt (fam, friends, and fans)… I have to say THANK YOU AND GIVE THANKS AND PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH AND ANCESTORS FOR YOUR PRESENCE IN MY LIFE!!!
YOU ARE SO I-PRECIATED!!!
And to show my I-Preciation I’m sharing this tune with you all for FREE download… Share it with those in your life who keep you lifted up…
All vocals by: Jah-I-Witness Emcee (Genesis Osagboro)
Produced by: PROgressive Beats (a product of Iceland)
Born the son of musician/activist, Olamina of Awareness Art Ensemble (A.A.E.), a very influential force in introducing African culture and reggae music to the Mid-Atlantic region, Jah-I’s musical roots run long and deep.
In 2001, in the wake of the September 11th tragedy, Jah-I and a handful of live musicians formed the live hip hop unit called True Sound. True Sound captivated audiences with their funky blend of hip hop, ghetto rock, reggae and soul, which began to be described as “The True Sound Experience.” With Jah-I-Witness as the front man, True Sound blends the energy of a rock-n-roll show, with street savvy and politically charged lyrics, soulful vocals, and masterful musicianship. Alongside the brothers of True Sound, Jah-I has played many, notable venues in the mid-Atlantic region and has shared the stage with a number of nationally and internationally recognized acts and music legends; such as Busta Rhymes & The Flipmode Squad, The Wailers, Sugar Hill Gang, and Fishbone.
As a solo artist, Jah-I has created a colorful sound that truly stands out from the grayness of the music industry. With the mic as his brush and beats as his canvas, Jah-I dips into his life experiences, emotions, and soul to paint sonic masterpieces. One such masterpiece, Stranger, was unveiled in 2005. Stranger, an eclectic mix of politically conscious rhymes, love ballads, and odes to hip hop proved to be an excellent showcase of Jah-I’s singing, rhyming, and production abilities. Stranger effectively blurred the lines between music genres, while simultaneously embodying the spirit of hip hop music and culture.
Currently, Jah-I is busy promoting the release of his second solo effort The Struggle, The Love, The Glory (The SLG), which is a collection of new songs and collaborations with various artists and producers around the world. He is also actively working on the completion of an album for his new group, The Remnant Project, which is comprised of emcee/vocalist Range Da Messenga, lyrical mastermind Kinetic, and Philly-based producer St. Paul. Both releases should prove to be solid works of art and positive steps on the path of Jah-I’s musical journey.
