Hudba je otázkou potřeby se vyjádřit, potřeby sdělit to, co je jinak těžko uvolnitelné. Věřím, že každý hluboko v nás slyšíme víc nebo míň hlas Boží - je jen na nás učit se ho poslouchat. Netvrdím, že to dokážu, tuším však, že existuje a jedině pozitivní přístup a víra v něj může uskutečnit nemožné.
Look, listen and learn
Zasvěcení ví, že MessenJah už pár let tvoří špičku domácí Reggae/Dancehall scény, publikum si ale čím dál víc nachází naskrz žánry i generacemi. Kombinace chytlavých melodií a duchaplných textů totiž není ve vodách české hudby tak obvyklá, aby ji šlo přehlédnout. Snad i proto se počet "živáků", které MessenJah odzpívá drží stabilně na stropě (kolem stovky vystoupení ročně) a jeho muzika se šíří i roste všemi směry a to jak sólo, tak s Cocomanem a Dr. Karym v novém projektu "Nevereš"!
Hned první zveřejněné nahrávky Ganja Je Lék a Pašící se setkaly s (nečekaným) ohlasem a CD kompilace Sklizeň 2011 (CocoJammin), jejíž byly součástí, dokonce obdržela od hudební akademie cenu Anděl za žánr Reggae/Ska.
Po roce následovala Sklizeň 2012 (opět exkluzivně na instrumentálech CocoJammin) a hity Neni Mi Jedno, Stopaři, nebo Miluju Život. Tím začala šňůra koncertů po vlastech českých, která trvá dodnes.
Na začátku 2014 vyšla MessenJahova debutová sólo deska "Bojuj Dál!", kde se přidaly pecky jako Nabito, Balit, Na Palici nebo Nespěchej. Následovala Sklizeň 2014 a hity Za Obzorem a Podej Mi Ruku.
Rok 2015 se pak nesl v duchu příprav na nový projekt s Karym a Cocomanem, takže nejvýraznějším počinem roku byl klip "Podej Mi Ruku", kterým získal MessenJah další vlnu fans.
Letošní rok je tedy ve znamení projektu tria které si říká "Nevereš" - album "Zpátky Na Strop" je už venku a singl Kotel se dlouhé týdny drží jako no. 1 v hitparádě rádia Spin!
A co dál? Sklizeň 2016? Druhé sólo album? Živáky jak s Nevereš tak klasicky sám? "Yaman!" je správná odpověď!
This is message from some messenger who knows-we're livin in the small world
This is message from the Messenjah who grows with every single spoken word
Me just really need to satisfy my soul, so I have to ask you why?
Why am I now like about to cry and why more and more people feel lonely and shy?
?Why people decided not to live for life
why want to !OWN! a car, 2, 3, 4, 5 ?
They wonna more'n more, just till they die
maybe thay think the cash makes it all fine
I can't see any sense in their slight doing
I don't need oil fields, I'm not Bob Youing!!!
Being with friends I love and learn for long
fuck up the consume way, fight back real strong!!!
fight for the freedom, through smoking a bong
we gotta nature rights to us belonged!
never be violent-not be sunk for long
never suck chief's dick, yes that's protest song!
So start with jamming, improvizinig
get great feelings through recognizing
brothes from others, mouses from rats
actors from jammers-you got to see here's large gap
you got to find it-better to find your dread
if you don't do that, it's only poor'n sad
not any for me-it's just your set,
but more sets lost'n the career's dead!
From now take good care what to be said!
even if you don't want to regret
It all still depends on how you feel,
if you feel full....you know what I mean..
So my people:
Don't bow your head'n belive in you,
you can do that 'n not just in crew
because just your's is the right point of view
don't try to act Britney, it causes bird flu
it is not superhard be yourself-the YOU
follow your own heard 'n join the IQ
we're so few and you should be the new
like cinderella, when she found her lost shoe !!
So give me your hand-at least we're two
'cause if not you than tell me damn WHO???
Loyal to belives, to true and condemn the wrong
be myself till the last breath, that's the think I want!!!
it's too small world you should know
you should really need to satisfy your soul, so you should be asking me why?
Why are you now like about to cry and why you care more and more people feel lonely and shy?
so that's all why !!!!
I see so many expensive things around
But not so many why should we be feeling proud
I see so many big and bigger bills around
Not for the books and education but for the lobby-
corruption is still spreading out
I’m now talking ‘bout the medication and worldwide situation you should really care about
Now it’s nation against nation, but all want luxury fashion
Together we should stop this money chant
Me a Messenger calling for equal rights and justice,
It is one bomb for two others we have to realize this
It’s like fall of the Rome-than the Babylon I claim it could be going on
One holy unity-only one sincere charity
One life to live and give-one righteous opportunity
And it’s never too late-open for signs of divinity
Jah jah is the only one-be humble daring than you see
so many expensive things around
But not that many why should we be feeling proud
I see so many big and bigger bills around
But not for books and education but for lobby-
corruption is still spreading out
I see generation by the generation, just exploiting-what will be next station-nobody really knows
Me a call for transcendation-that’s the only heal of nation for righteous love and unity which grows
Messenger calling you to harmonize see justice
Babylon got power but no right to spend resources
That’s the right time to say-please OPEN UP YOUR EYES not tomorrow but today I say-OPEN UP YOUR EYES not tomorrow but today-that’s why I pray for
One holy unity-only one sincere charity
One life to live and give-one righteous opportunity
And it’s never too late-open for signs of divinity
Jah jah is the only one-be humble daring than you see.....
HARMONIZE
fighitin for all ganja smokers rights
fightin for those who knows how to harmonize
we got to be rollin and showin them all that wheels are still turnin
we got be rollin and showing them all that the fire stilla burnin
Here is the message-there is no more time to be silent
there is the time to rise but never to be violent-
what we want's just organize-and harmonize not pay high rent
fighting for those people who knows
what all young of this generation really deeply need
's not straight street,but right stimulation-no drugs,but air to breath
good books to read, that's your brain you need to feed
because your ideas to breed-mighty humanity's your seed
one for revolutionary troopas fighting every day
two for all my family'n brothas not leaving me stray
three for my cute lady living far far away
four for all my people-down the stage you stay
I say:
extreme capitalism supporting terrorism
sendin poor guys to prison,brings just more extremism
that's not a social prism, more gaps more fanatism
never again nihilism, no more blind consumerism
I say organize your lifes means harmonize your pride and dreams
you got to recognize bad streams-we got all to be facing our fears
l say my people no shead no tears
we got to be rollin and showin them all that wheels still turnin
we got be rollin and showing them all that the fire stilla burnin
Here is the message-there is no more time to be silent
there is the time to rise but never to be violent-
what we want's just organize-and harmonize not live high rent
fighting for those people who knows
I'm now far away to call myself a rasta
I'm just an other messenger-me a human being basta
me a trying do my besta, not just beating to my chesta
me a careful baster-hear the warning of disaster
please look inside you people, what you doing don't you see
please transcent to sense-to roots of humanity
