Jahpremacy

Allgemein

In former years it had mostly been vocal-groups who left their mark on classic reggae. However, with the digitalisation of jamaican music, fans and musicians in the dancehall began to focus more on solo-artists and their more or less daily topical lyrics.

JAHPREMACY have decided for a different way and revive the old "school" of harmony chant. Marley "Raspectah" Dread and Sista Irie..n are the artists behind JAHPREMACY. Their Passion has at all times been the Roots-Reggae a principle which can be heard in the group's musical output as well as in their lyrics. However, this does not mean that they are completely out of touch with reality and against modernisation in general. In fact, JAHPREMACY fit perfectly into the latest development in Reggae, the so-called "New Roots". Based on the musical Heritage of Jamaica this style is very well open for new elements. The stage shows of JAHPREMACY accompanied alternativly by a live band and a sound system show (Weedbeat Sound) clearly this intended duality of foundation music and dancehall.

At the moment JAHPREMACY work on collaborating closer with jamaican artists and producers. Their musical and cultural exchange is beginning to show results and promises more for the future namely MUSIC PON A SOLID FOUNDATION.
