Soul-Rebel Marley is building on a legacy of ingenuity. His inclination towards music is the product of having a firm grasp on reggae’s foundational aural principles, while looking towards other sonic landscapes to not only enhance output, but to create a defined and unique sound. Raised in an environment that encouraged musical dexterity, his experiences as a self-taught musician and producer coalesced into the creation of his debut single.

While in the studio with Skip, the opening line of a song Hail up the King of Kings/We forever loving Jah” — came to Soul. He quickly documented it on voice note. Though he hadn’t formally recorded anything prior, he revisited the lyrics, made an acapella version and produced around it.

Loving Jah now emerges as Soul-Rebel Marley’s debut, taking cues from his grandfather’s 1980 classic, Forever Loving Jah. The result is a motivational and empowering sound that elevates the sound of traditional reggae by fusing it with elements of dancehall and hip hop.
