Press Release
Deeper (Natty Congoest Way) - Xedous
From deep within the Redwood Forests of Northern California emerges ‘Deeper (Natty Congoest Way)’, the latest single release by Humboldt County based Singer-Songwriter, Xedous. The bass-heavy riddim provides the perfect backdrop for the thought-provoking lyrics.
“The inspiration for the song concept came from a lot documentaries I had been watching, like “Hidden Colors’ and lectures by ones like Dr. John Henry Clark and Dr. Yosef Ben Yochannon, which all had a common theme of revealing the ancient history of Africa and Africans. This song is a product of those ideas and is a call to Africans ( and all human beings since we all came out of Africa) to first identify themselves and walk in that light and lead others to it.” says Xedous.
The song is his first single on the More Life Productions label and is set to hit all Digital Platforms on July 23, 2021.

More Life Productions and Jabalance are very pleased to announce the upcoming release of Jabalance's debut album entitled "From The Heart". The 14- track album boasts One-Drop Reggae Riddims & heartfelt, uplifting culture lyrics, as well as combination tracks with other St. Ann artists such as Chezidek, Kali Blaxx, Teflon & more.
From the heart is guaranteed to please lovers of classic reggae and modern culture reggae alike, featuring songs such as the opening track "Comin From Tha Farm", a beautiful, uptempo piano- based track, in which Jabalance sings of his hard work as a Farmer, tilling the soil and laboring to harvest fresh foods to eat. The album moves next into a combination track with world renowned culture artist Chezidek, entitled "Good For My Heart", a classic reggae style riddim, with lyrics that boast of the mentally & physically healing properties of various herbs & spices.
Another album highlight, the track entitled "Kutchie Cup" is bound to jog the memories of foundation reggae lovers, as the riddim pays homage to Jacob Miller's Tenament Yard riddim, with heavy rolling bass and lyrics describing a real life situation Jabalance faces while holding a meditation, when the police show up, spoiling the irie vibes.
For fans of Lover's Rock, the album features tracks like "Strong Black Woman", a combination with Jamaica's rising culture artist, Kali Blaxx. "Strong Black Woman" is a sweet and respectful ode to true love, natural beauty & the strength of a woman.
On a more spiritual level, the album features several tracks such as "Jah Jah Flash the Lightning" featuring Teflon, "From You Have Jah", and "Let Jah Be Praise" ft. Shakespear and Ika, all songs giving thanks to the creator for life, health & strength.
