New York, NY… Jesse Jendah was a prolific Rastaman, and everywhere he went it seems a higher caliber of intellect ensued. He is a gripping intellectual and challenging individual. He speaks purposefully and meticulously truths only, as he knows it. In 2000, he was bestowed upon with a symbolic titled, King Furnace. Jendah’s claimed to fame as a chant-jay reggae artist, as he described himself, has remained his monster hit; “Rude Boy Remember Mi Little Island Jamaica.” From this debut hit song to his last EP released, his lyrics remains intense.
The Versatile artist descriptive lyrics are relevant to the 21st century arguments. Teasing, provocative, soul reaching and seductively intriguing…pins todays movements; thus, will endure history and the future generations. Jendah began his musical journey at the age of 12, in 1977. He was then in high school. His inception into the Music Business, in the 1990s, has he said was because of his predecessor, the late reggae icon, Garnet Silk. “I sat in a car in the Bronx, New York, and for the first time, heard Silk’s “Mama (Afuraska) Africa, song. The song woke me up and forever changed my life.” Jendah said he went forward to Jamaica and his life thereafter influenced history; he became a rasta man. Henceforth, Jendah intrinsically became influential for a variety of tangles, which included notable stalwarts in the Reggae Music Fraternity, in Jamaica becoming Rastas. Most noted are Louie Culture, Capleton, Luciano, and Sizzla Kalonji.
The Late 90s, Jendah was no stranger to the Reggae Music Industry, and the International Music Fraternity. Jendah released many albums on the market with descriptive insinuations via symbolic portraits; but none can compare to the compilation on the prolific writer’s new EP, “Strong Black Woman in Mount T’Scion,” 2020, which he called Galbum. The Galbum, is second to none and speaks to current initiatives. On this Galbum, Jendah has a directive, a song he was taking straight to the late Queens of England, Queen Elizabeth and leaders of the world. He called the song “Reparation Collection.” This song is not the first reparation song he has done and released; 2012 was the first inception of the reparation collection (school) teachings he began, (lyrically speaking). 2020, Jendah reached a benchmark, with an acute vision…this time around, he did ‘t want merely to sing about reparation but, he wanted to collect monies from the various outfits throughout the world body; in what he deemed owed to Black People, for the Transatlantic slave Trade and 100 years of free education to Caucasians.
Significantly, Jendah in explaining, in this interview with this editor; divulged markedly and judiciously, “I came up with the title name of the song, “Reparation Collection.” I did a reparation song before in 2012, on the Majestic Fayah Label, in the Bronx. So, in 2020, I decided to go straight to the late Queen of England. The video had never been done before. I had it in my head and wanted to get it all out, the pictures in it are real. I especially, wanted a picture -video of Queen Elizabeth bowing down to King Selassie 1st, in his vault…which InI sorted after and got. A picture is worth a thousand words. It is the most powerful picture on the planet.”
Furthermore, Jendah’s astute acumen in the status and implementation of bringing out vital historical accounts in said video was profoundly striking; in that he knew what his fans wanted from him. Fans will love the mental notes by paying attention to the symbolisms in the video. What Jendah profoundly wants is, One Hundred Thousand Trillion Dollars for black people. “The money will come from the Bank of International Settlement (BIS) and out of the Queen’s One Trillion Dollars net worth, that she took from the thousand years of robing and floundering Black People’s resources from Africa (Afuraska),” articulated Jendah, in sorting out the money tip.
The intellect, moreover, noted and compounded the idea that the Queen gets $500 hundred thousand pounds every two days on her net worth and half a billion pounds in interest annually. How? Jendah referenced the fact that she is the head of 16 countries and all the Banks work for her. And that she had real estate properties and holdings. Other global takers from Africa (Afuraska), on the resource tip he added: the Monarchy, England, Switzerland, Holland, (Amanraska) America, Belgium, and France. He even voiced that the Rothchild’s are in the Queens’s pocket, that they work for her.
“Africa (Afruraska), the motherland should get the reparation money,” he chided. Why? “Because no country on earth could do without Africa’s resources. Every country has and is extracting from her soil. All of Europe is in Africa, extracting resources. Let’s start repairing Africa Afuraska),” explained Jendah affronted.
In addition, the education idealist said, “Most ifanately for sure the money should go towards an Economical Education of an Afro Centric Curriculum for young black students; to ensure the future of the black race. It will be used to teach self-reliance, to be (I-fficient) self-sufficient, self-sustaining, and it should work through the organization of Afuraska) Africa (Inity) unity and the Pan Afro Afuraska… (The Central Bank of Pan Africa). The money he said, should assured for one hundred thousand years, of free education for the Rasta man’s curriculum. One hundred thousand years because it is Marcus Garvey’s physical economical fundamental foundational strategy.”
Jendah, accountably proclaimed, that ‘Reparation,’ was talked about in the United States but, no Legislation Bill, has ever been put forward. He said, “Former President, Bill Clinton, only talked about it.” He conceded that has an artist with economic and accounting foreground, he came up with these arguments by studying in-depthly and thoroughly, the topics of reparations and it intricates.
In addition, the savvy musician conveyed that has a young Prince, at 5 years-old, growing up in the community of Racecource Clarendon, Jamaica; a town 4 to 5 miles from the beach and was the first constituency of Alexander Bustamante, the first President of Jamaica in 1944; where the 1st racetrack in the Caribbean is located which is a one-mile stretch close to Rocky Point, southeast and five miles to Racecource and nine miles west to Milk River. The little town had everything to sustain itself, Jendah explained. “I literally, saw in the middle of the cane field physical slavery firsthand, which was people working and living on the side of the cane field,” Jendah said. The herbalist pointed out thereafter, “InI, had to sort out that recompense. So, I had to dig deep to find out (wa-gaawn), what was going on with black people. The jift of it is, about getting back five centuries of work building up the world…Europe, Asia, Amanraska (America) and the Caribbean,” remark the clever-chant-jay, who’s grandmother is Jewish.
In reference to those people who kept the struggles of reparation going, Jendah said, “I say more power, keep fighting never stop.” Incidentally, it was Jendah who envisioned the sales and distributions of (Matequano) marijuana’s domination in Jamaica and on the world’s GDP; and brought its attention to the former Prime Minister of Jamaica, the Honorable PJ Patterson, during the early 1990s. The quest for Jendah was to not let Jamaica get left out of the Marijuana trade deals he knew was sure to come. He was angry that Patterson, did not see the vision and embarrassed him for his trouble. Especially, for the fact that Patterson later used his vision, to line his own pocket.
The question of whether black people, will see reparation payments in their lifetimes come to fruition, “Of course, has the earth rise and the earth set,” Jendah said. “Everyone should pay earnest attention attentively when Jabba Jesse chat.” As for the argument that he was the only rasta man who took up the reparation cause and was eminent about it; the Firebrand, dubbed King Furnace, articulated his answers and himself this way, “I am brainiest of the bravest.”
Regarding the loss of his Ranch and ganga Farm, in northern California, where it burned to the ground because of the last big forest fire there. It was the reason for him forwarding back East, Jendah said he was in the process of rebuilding and restructuring and furthermore promoting his new Galbum at the time of the interview. “Strong Black Woman in Mount T’Scion.” Conversely, Jendah worked with super producer Phillip ‘Fattis’ Burrell, Xterminator, Sizzla, Mikey General and the Fire House Family. You can find some of his documentaries on YouTube, “Runaway Slave RS1,” to name a few.
Finally, Jendah inserted that he wants Farms in dozens of countries in the motherland of (Afuraska) Africa. “What I fundamentally want, is to have enough influence and power to get all Black People, around the world to have their own personal weed (Matequano) marijuana farm,” revealed the titled King. “The ras (not a curst word), edification, of Jesse Jendah,” he said wittingly finishing.
The Galbum carries 21 tracks. Techonogy, Reparation Collection, T’Scion, Marijuana, Roots Rock reggae, Distinguish Gentleman, Hey Lady, Bun Hello, and Rasta love, to state a few.
Sadly, before this article could go to print Jesse Jendah passed on to Zion.
