New York, New York, February, 2022. The
native son of Nine Miles, Bull Bay, Black Am I, has collaborated with
Bebble Rock’s lyrics deity Kabaka Pyramid for his latest single “Jah In My Corner”.
The two Ghetto Youths International camp members join forces on this
fundamental rootsy instrumental, produced by Grammy award winner Damian
‘Jr Gong’ Marley. Released on Ghetto Youths International label "Jah In
My Corner" is now available for streaming on all platforms.
Black
Am I is known for his smooth yet strong vocals, which easily
distinguishes him from the sea of musical talents in Jamaica. With hits
such as “Modern Day Freedom”, “Samson Strength”, “King of Kings” and “The Edge”,
Black Am I is not known to shy away from social commentary. The release
of his EP in February of last year titled ‘Living Dread’, gave
listeners a clearer sense of his talent and potential. The EP was well
received and left audiences wanting more. Now the Bull Bay singer/DJ is
back with another single to suit the increasing demand.
“Jah
In My Corner” is a respite in these tough times for many who continue
to struggle with the new normal around the world. This single’s sharp
gripping lyrics are a high contrast to the smooth, rootsy vocals of
Black Am I on the chorus. Using the great game of football as a
metaphor, with Jah as the coach in their ballgame of life, these two
cultural defenders are assured of their victory on the field. This
single is a representation of the hard times, to the people who maintain
with great resilience during rough times. Representing faith and
confidence, “Jah In Control” highlights the victory, despite obstacles
that appear to be insurmountable. Even in the face of overwhelming
force, the song encourages ones to press on and never give up.
On the heels of the release of his most recent single “Spliff Haffi Burn”,
Black Am I seeks to cement and maintain his space as a voice in music. A
champion in his own rite, Black AM I continue his campaign to represent
and speak for those without a voice. “Jah In My Corner” is meant to
serve as a beacon of inspiration and a call to faith, daring listeners
to hope and pray for a better day despite the grim outlook. With Kabaka
Pyramid as a clear and accurate assist on this single, Black AM I aim
for another hit track.
