Just as reggae music is a consequential part of Jamaica's culture, so is Rastafarianism salient in the reggae industry. Admittedly, since the commercialization of the genre the righteous message has, in some instances, been diluted and/or substituted for a more marketable one.
That said, we are fortunate to still have some sincere Rasta-reggae artists who continue to promote unworldly content despite ongoing efforts by negative forces to push the opposite.
Mykal Rose - the former front-man of Black Uhuru, a Grammy award-winning reggae artist and a Rastafarian - has just shared one of the most refreshing Rasta-reggae tunes so far for 2022. The song - titled Jah Loves Me More Everyday - which is produced by Big Feet Records, is now available on all music platforms. Its release was carefully coordinated to coincide with the celebration of Haile Selassie's earth day - a figure venerated as God by Rastafarians.
Rose, who is also an esteemed songwriter, gives listeners an insight into his relationship with the Most High, as he sings: "Jah loves me more everyday - thinking of the Almighty makes me glad - no need to be sad - with Jah in my life guiding me everyday - cause I know the way."
