Jahson Ites

Super-positive, upful , cultural, CONSCIOUS roots reggae, dancehall, & hip hop designed to uplift and inspire the People of the World to health, happiness, well

Jahson Ites' super-positive lyrics & conscious message are the perfect match for his authentic roots reggae sound & rugged dancehall & hip-hop vibes. He gets the People up and dancing, waving their hands in the air, and singing along to songs they've never heard before. Jahson Ites is known for his super-positive lyrics and energetic stageshow, whether he's singing with a live band or has a selector running riddims. Jahson Ites tears up the dancehall, inspiring the people to dance 'til they're about to drop, jump up in the air, and shout out for pure joy, leaving copious amounts of sweat and smiles in his wake. Whether he's performing solo or as the core of the Sick Donkey Records Conscious Music Showcase with his Idren Essential I, Huckleberry, and BlueJay (aka DJ Sticky), who make up his crew FiyaCrackah Sound, Jahson Ites' stageshow has been an awakening, life-changing experience for many, as evidenced at Seattle Hempfest 2008 on the Seeley Memorial Stage. "Foward Outta Babylon is one of the best debut albums to come along in many years. Jahson Ites, Essential I, Bluejay, with special guests Adrian Xavier and Dub Champions and the Legendary Bill Ortiz on Trumpet, all blend together to make this sound like an album created in the spirit of Linton "Kwesi" Johnson, Steel Pulse and even Peter Tosh! This album should give us all faith that Positive Lyrics and Conscious Messages can reach some new highs, and will open up a whole next generation's eyes and minds. Powerful, Positive and Insightful!" -- Steffen Franz aka Stand Out Selector Producer "Forward Outta Babylon" President Positive Sound Massive Recordings/Independent Distribution Collective

Lyrics

DOWN IN BABYLON (J.Vaughan)
Chorus: It's getting deep down in Babylon / That's why they're running wild in the streets down in Babylon / Because ya know they're in it knee deep (waste deep, neck deep) down in Babylon / Down in Babylon it's getting deep /// 1st verse: Polytricksters pretend that they're helping Poor People but they're lyin' / Busynessmen content they do the same but they're barely even tryin' / A tiny raise in the minimum wage while the prices sky-highing / Those in power living well, getting fat while Poor People are dyin' / Can't you hear Jah Children cryin'? We're cryin' /// chorus /// bridge: They think they're in control but they don't know they're not - Oh / Too busy tryin' to keep a hold of what they got - Yo / And like a Missionary in a cannibal pot - No / They can't feel the heat until it's way too hot - So / Hand in the cookie jar and now they're caught - Oh / Honesty, Integrity what they forgot - Yo / Their hearts are full of wickedness and rot - So / They wanna rule the world and blame it all on God - No! /// 2nd verse: They use numbers and statistics to cook up their misinformation / It's brainwashing and propaganda but they call it education / Making money while pushing Poor People to the point of privation / Grabbing all that they can get without a thought for the good of the nation or future generations /// Chorus ///
