The song finds Bruse Wane kicking Poignant and meaningful lyrics over this dope Mantronik produced track. A.I, short for artificial intelligence, has been the hot button topic as of late, with most people not really knowing what the future holds with the invent of the new and controversial technology. Is humanity on the verge of being replaced with A.I based meta beings.
Let's face it, social media seems to have made people more socially distant than ever. Everyones eyes are glued to their cell phones, and technology seems to have overtaken spirituality as the new focus of worship.The song finds Wane beckoning for people to unplug from the meta verse and return "back to reality family and self love". You can check the visual for the official video below.
Judah The Prince drops a musical message of upliftment and encouragement in time for the holidays
Judah Tha Prince, commonly known as Krumbsnatcha to hardcore Hip Hop audiences worldwide as a member of The Gangstarr Foundation, has not only found a new moniker but also a new wind of creative energy and lyrical insight with this new single off his upcoming album Iron Lion of Zion.
As many search for purpose and reasoning within many of the world's current hardships JTP offers the wise words "I am existence", a positive affirmation that each person is like a star in the constellation with divine purpose although this is overlooked due to worldly distractions.
Appearing on the hook with the declaration that "everything will be ok" is the uprising talent Jahazeil, who happens to be the son of Reggae legend Buju Banton. Jahazeil is committed to providing the conscious- uplifting lyrics and vibes synonymous with his father's catalog that has captured the international scene for nearly 3 decades as one of the genre's brightest stars. Jahazeil brings the energy of consciousness and upliftment over the mellow one drop influenced track produced by Pzazz Pystine. He has recently appeared on tracks with legends including Spragga Benz, Delly Ranks and of course his father Buju.
BE OK is now available on all streaming platforms. Look out for the release of the entire Iron Lion of Zion album upcoming in 2024 courtesy of Mind Power Entertainment.

Poe writes "December 22nd is the anniversary of my mother’s death. It took me 3 years to sit down and make a record about it. But the other day while sitting in my thoughts, I decided to make the beat and the song to express what I’m feeling. This is personal. I appreciate your ears and time."

The New England legend and stalwart MC, Krumbsnatcha aka Judah The Prince, responsible for over two decades of thought provoking bangers is back this fall with his latest release Last Dance, produced by Pzazz Psyxtine. This comes as the most recent of three singles released for the upcoming album Iron Lion of Zion, which is a commemorative album of the late Reggae legend Bob Marley.
This is not the first time Krumbsnatcha has experimented with different genres or Reggae as he has already collaborated with established Reggae artists Jah Don and Grammy Award winning Dancehall superstar Shabba Ranks. This album goes a step further in its aim to tribute arguably one of the most influential musicians of all time. Bob Marley was not only an international icon known for his anthems such as One Love and Three Little Birds, but also a freedom fighter who used his medium of music as bridge to promote peace, unity and equality for everyone regardless of race, religion or economic status. Bob Marley was even shot at his home in an assassination attempt for his dedication to these principles and his refusal to be associated with any political interests.
The new single Last Dance is an upbeat and uptempo invitation to the dancefloor by Judah The Prince. Though the album has serious and thought provoking messages included, it also gives the listener a vibe to get loose "Pon the dancefloor" as Judah instructs in the chorus.
Releases fully on November 3rd

All cuts on the album are by DJ JabbaThaKut and the album was mastered by The J. Hexx Project.
Features include Cuban's C75 Live team members B. Dvine and OneMike, the legendary Krumbsnatcha, one half of Dirt Platoon Raf Almighty, UK based Australian emcee Nelson Dialect, emcee/producer yungL!NK, and NY based artist Jus-P.
