"Lyrics of Fury" in the style of jazz, is produced by Jonathan Hay and is a remake of Eric B. & Rakim's classic. Hay's 'Follow the Leader' was released on July 26th, the anniversary date of the original album. 

All 11 songs from 'Follow the Leader' were recreated in the style of jazz, and all the mechanical licenses were granted, meaning, Eric B. & Rakim will be paid in full for this jazz project.

JAUBI continue the Nafs journey, which commenced with the single “Satanic Nafs” (featuring the remix by legendary LA producers The Gaslamp Killer & Mophono) released in March 2021. Now JAUBI draw on the elements of North Indian classical music, Hip-Hop and modal/spiritual jazz in their debut LP entitled “Nafs At Peace”.

The journey officially began back in April 2019 when London’s multi- instrumentalist and 22a Record label boss Ed “Tenderlonious” Cawthorne and Polish pianist/composer Marek “Latarnik” Pędziwiatr of EABS/Błoto, visited the group to record in Lahore.

Together they channelled their personal struggles at that time into the two recording sessions allowing the musicians to find a spiritual path through this musical purge.

Nothing whatsoever was written down during the recording sessions - no sheet music and no song titles, which allowed the six musicians to forget about their worldly issues.

In many ways, the journey represents a struggle and an expression of gratitude and an acknowledgement that the musician's inspiration comes from a higher power. The album cover portrays the mother of JAUBI’s bandleader, tearfully praying to God to get her son through that dark period of his life.

The first step of the journey can be heard on “Satanic Nafs” which refers to the lowest level of the Self which was released 26th March 2021 through Astigmatic Records.

The album title ‘Nafs At Peace’ refers to the last purification step the self has been through. At this level, the Self no longer struggles because one has complete love of God, by becoming at peace and tranquil with God’s will. We hope all can achieve the stage of “Nafs At Peace” … Inshallah.

Jaubi - Straight Path

"Get Down On It" - Wayman Tisdale

"Do It Again" - Philippe Saisse

"After Hours" - Spyro Gyra

For millennia, spirit and soul have been central concepts in philosophy and religion, around which many texts and treatises revolve. But since the Middle Ages, there's arisen a paucity of accurate information about these phenomena. Instead of describing empirical mechanisms, these words have sunk into overuse, adulterated by spiritualists, advertisers and pop culture. In this episode of the Godpseek Podcast, The Arkon asks The Greek to elaborate on the ancient understandings of "spirit" and "soul", as well as why their meanings have been lost to time.
