Through art we find other avenues of life.

The body you see is not me, but merely a vessel for my soul. So I love and care for it, but I also know that my soul is the most beautiful and precious part of me. Let us remember to love our souls as much as we love our bodies, for our souls are the essence of who we truly are 🌼

“THE FIRST REGGAE MAN”

When people think of reggae, they think of Bob Marley, but no one seems to remember JIMMY CLIFF.

JIMMY CLIFF is the man who broke reggae out of Jamaica and into the world scene.

Cliff was born in St. Catherine, Jamaica, on April 1, 1948. He was born to the name of James Chambers. He took the surname Cliff to express the heights he was going to reach with his music.

When he was still young, Cliff moved to the capital of Jamaica to attend technical school. While in school, he recorded his first hit "Hurricane Hattie," which became an instant Jamaican hit.

In 1964, Jimmy was selected as one of Jamaica's representatives in the World Fair.

In 1968, Jimmy brought an international song festival title with his track "Waterfall," which was a smash hit in Brazil. The next year he broke into the international market with "Wonderful World, Beautiful People," which made it to No. 6 on British charts and in the top 25 in the United States.

Bob Dylan called Cliff's song "Vietnam" the best protest song he'd ever heard.

In 1972, Jimmy starred in a movie called "The Harder They Come," which was written and produced by Perry Henzell.

The plot features main character Ivanhoe Martin going to the big city to become a big time reggae artist. He finds life in the city to be harder than he thought and is taken advantage of by a record producer and a drug dealer.

After events start escalating, he becomes Jamaica's most wanted man and a hero to all oppressed Jamaicans.

The soundtrack featured many of Jimmy Cliff's songs, the main track being called "The Harder They Come."

JIMMY CLIFF, is the only living reggae musician to hold the Order of Merit, the highest honour that can be granted by the Jamaican government for achievements in the arts and sciences.

Years active: 1962 - present

I wasn't afraid about the world and my fellow artist moving forward in the industry.
But i always kept my headup. Having sleepless nights to mature something out of my mind while on the bed of pain.

Now for some of my fellow artist in the south Sudan music industry who thinks they are kings and queens what do you have? Some of you doesn't have even a token of a plot in your rentals, so where are you heading first of all?

If there is someone to brag, LUUGA M has the right to brag. Because I'm bigger than you guys.
Remember three years out of South Sudan, maybe Silver X , Cocosan , Kawaja Revolution , WJ De King as Rocky J di King said he only respect him, this are real men in this industry where I heard real vibes.
That I honestly respect. But now for the others,
Why do you want to confuse your own fans for cheap fame????????????????????

Out of all this, as high king of the game,
Who's making 15years in the industry, you copi cuts has to bow down by all means.
This is Frontline management 🔥

We are what we are we, the sooner recognize this, the sooner we can start making sense of our life and our purpose in that life.

The only power we possess as human beings is the ability to choose. Our conditions can reflect how we’ve managed or mismanaged our power (most times we’re unaware of this). Be aware of your choices and choose wisely.

In music/art everywhere you go you have a family! Proud of all these brothers, each paving their own way musically and at the same time supporting each other. This is what music is about!

The air just hits different here!

Been offline for about a week, phone issues, nonetheless it was a creative week. Spent time in the studio and vibing with these brothers. It was a delightful experience a much needed piece to the musical journey, stay tuned!

Dope wanna see

It’s been a minute…

Rapper J. Cole is worth $117 million dollars. He rides around on a bike with no guns, and no security, and no one bothers him.

He's not stuntin. He's not flossin. He's not messin with other guys' girlfriends. He's not mocking guys who are less fortunate.

He's humble. He's respectful. He has no beefs. He has no enemies. He does not boast of being a gang member. He does not claim to be a killer.

He sows positive energy, peace, and charity, and he reaps a good quiet life that most rappers could never live.

Happy International Reggae Day ! 🔈

In life we grow when we surround ourselves with the right people be it family, friends or loved ones, like plants we need the right nutrients, water and care to grow and flourish!

A giant has fallen, the void you have left is too huge to be filled by merely anyone. Yes they paint your image as an evil man, a brutal dictator, they forget that you were a great man with ambition, character and a true survivor, you would not fold with all the pressures of the world facing you and your small nation, you stood up and gave others hope. Africa would not be the same today without the presence of your weight. History will remember you as a controversial man, no matter how they paint you, to many you were and still are a symbol of freedom and peace. RIP
