ABOUT US
One of life’s chief lessons is the consistency of change. The Earth, once conceived flat, is now thought to be round. The Book of Enoch, Noah’s great-grandfather, was obscured for generations until three copies were brought out of Ethiopia by a prominent European explorer. Events like these have triggered paradigm shifts in the evolution of human thinking, yet the same principle applies to individual growth as well.

Akae Beka is the current manifestation of an evolving consciousness. Following a quarter of a century as lead singer and co-founder for the legendary, St. Croix-based band, Midnite, Vaughn Benjamin was inspired to intensify his light when life situations led him to revisit the Book of Enoch. He then realized his preparedness to answer the calling of a sacred oath described therein, the Akae, the Beka, one and the same. Much like the archangel Michael who was responsible for the truths pertaining to the secrets of creation, so does Benjamin today accept his role in a parallel time of rampant deception and broken taboos in the arenas of world leadership. Always rooted firmly in the teachings of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I, his personal evolution and reaffirmed purpose is manifested in his newly declared name.

The music industry as a whole, changes constantly. It shifts and turns, melodies melding with synth pop and genre's cross over into each other. To some it's intimidating, to others, a challenge to break through and deliver. February of 2010 saw such a break through with the establishment of Uhuru Boys. Planning on focusing on the best of the best. Combining the best elements of R&B, Electronica, Reggae, Techno, DanceHall, and Hip Hop, their goal is to make a smooth sound that reaches a wide audience. The basis of Uhuru Boys both as a group and as a label is to bring like minded, music loving individuals together to share their talents, gifts, and personalities. The result is a smorgasbord of creative talent ready to tackle anything the industry can throw at them. While the range of Uhuru Boys is diverse and wide ranged, the goal is still the same. To be heard, to share good music, and to love what you do.
