Wake the town with a righteous sound
Tell me who shall I fear while I walk on Jah righteous ground
Nowadays some of the wickedest witches dress Inna the whitest gowns
Take a pen and paper

Dem claim seh dem have love Inna den heart (oh lawd)
And as yuh turn yuh back dem start fi laugh (how dem laugh)
Cha la la la la la la la la (Bhim)
Cha la la la la la la la la (Bhim)

(Studio One Rub-a-Dub) Freddie Mcgregor - How Could You Leave

KINGSTON, JAMAICA - There is mounting anticipation for Jah9's debut album, New Name, slated for release later this year.  Now her fans will be rewarded for their patience with the smoothly produced title track by Rory "Stone Love" Gilligan.

'New Name' has an anthem quality, with Jah9's trademark clarity of voice, enunciation and solemnness of message all colliding in a milestone piece of music. If four and a half minutes could begin to capture the magnetism of Rastafari for this rising generation, 'New Name' would be it.

The song will be available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon and all major distribution sites.

Jah9 - New Name

After making his mark as lead singer with popular vocal trio, the Versatiles, Keith ‘Junior’ Byles embarked on a hugely successful solo career, writing and recording a series of hugely succeesful songs, which included ‘Beat Down Babylon’, ‘Da Da’, ‘A Place Called Africa’, ‘Curly Locks’ and ‘Fade Away’. But as the 1970s progressed, health problems increasingly affected his career and by the eighties he had all but withdrawn from the music business.

Earl "Chinna" Smith was only 19 in 1974 when he wrote and produced Fade Away, which is inspired by a line from Psalms 18. The song was recorded at Channel One with Theophilus "Snapping" Beckford on piano, Carlton "Santa" Davis on drums and George "Fuilly" Fullwood playing bass.

By 1975, Byles' health had begun to decline. Suffering from depression, he was deeply affected by the death of Haile Selassie, unable to reconcile this with his belief in Selassie's divinity, and attempted suicide.  He was admitted to Bellevue Hospital, after which his health continued to decline. Although he had regular spells in the hospital, he continued to record, reworking "King of Babylon" for Winston Holness, working again with Campbell, and recording a cover of The Archies' "Sugar Sugar" with Big Youth. By the end of 1976, he had all but vanished from the music scene, with a comeback attempted in 1978, recording two singles for Joe Gibbs. It was clear that he was still not well, however, and it would be 1982 before he re-emerged, working with New York City label Wackie's. Progress on a planned new album was slow, and Byles was beset by tragedy when his mother died, and he lost his home in a fire. His wife and children also emigrated to the United States, and aside from a few singles, Byles would release nothing until 1986's Rasta No Pickpocket album. The album did not, however, see a long-lived upturn in Byles' fortunes, and by the following year, he was living on the street, scavenging for food in dumpsters, and begging from passers-by. Although rumors of his death have been circulating it appears he is still alive and living in Jamaica.
