Jah – x2 (Video)

by .

A while back Jah dropped a visual for his track “x2” and has been resurfacing the web lately, and with good reason. The sinister video is a collar between two of South Florida’s go-to directors, MarsMarsMars and Flower Cop, and let me just say i don’t think we’ll every see/hear anything average as long as Jah’s name is on it. Play above and to stream the track individually click here. 

Be sure to read below on his life/music as of late:

Hey everyone, I really appreciate every single one of you that play, dissect, and love my music. It really means a lot to me, more than you’ll ever think… Reason being, I put all of my effort into everything I create, whether it be music, sculptures, paintings, art, stories, you name it…

As of late (2016) I’ve been going through a really tough time… In life, music, friendship, family, relationships, and financially. I decided to reevaluate each part of those categories to figure out and directly respond to the problems individually. One of them being that my music is all over the place and my sound changes so drastically song to song… I started to notice labels, supporters, fans, listeners, music enthusiasts, and even my friends have a tough time pin pointing exactly what it is I do and what my style really is. To put it simply, its progressive… I try to impress myself, and do something I’ve never attempted or ever had the courage to try to pull off (musically & artistically). I love to test my limits and break each boundary I set up for myself… Call it a short attention span or a lost creative, whatever you wanna… I just know that it’s what I like to do.

I’ve been told to my face that a style or artist like that won’t make it in music simply because it’s a gamble for labels, promoters, and A&R’s. Relying on an artist who constantly switches their style and sound to sell records, cd’s, streams, digital downloads, etc… is simply too much of a hassle and a “waste” of label funding. “We want something that will sell undeniably.”

I love to take risks, I love to improve, I love to shock and surprise. My music is not for the closed minded. I want my supporters to dig into my music, from the words I use down to the title and artwork (for the most part). “Why did Jah say it like this?” , “Why would those 2 topics be in the same line? Do they correlate to the title?”, “Why did he really name it this?”

I’ve decided to consolidate my soundcloud to make it easier for listeners to pick what songs they like and what “sound” they would want to hear a project of. So i decided to throw dropbox links to the project that correlates to each song. It’s a small gesture but I do know a lot of you guys listen to a lot of these songs regularly. Download the projects and spread the word of what I do and what Jah is capable of… Since these labels clearly don’t see it.

I’m a walking bank if you want to be honest… I produce my own music, record it, engineer it, write it, make/find the artwork, write my own video treatments, build with other artists and have created huge songs with them, draw, write, sculpt, paint, plan events, lead different artists to beginning roads to success (can’t walk with them the whole way), promote artists I work with (not just on twitter), design my own clothes, animate, plan my own gallery events and build idea after idea… Literally by myself. I try to explain to these investors and labels that I’m not a simple minded artist lol I’m here to really expand and create some life changing/game changing projects… But what the fuck do I know? I’m just another guy trying to chase his dreams…

You’ll be able to find updates of my work on jahrahmf.com, I’m working on becoming more active on there and posting updates of what I’m up to, but If ever you’re clueless as to what I’m up to you could always follow me on social media networks: @jahrahmf or @notjahrahmf (usually the first one)

Enjoy,

– Jah
