Clarendon based deejay Jah Lama is among the latest set of up-and-coming artists in Jamaica’s bursting music industry. Although he has been working on his craft for many years, he did not have any of his recordings officially released until 2021.
Fast-forward to 2023 and an eager Jah Lama is not only announcing his arrival, but he is also making it clear that he intends to fight to get, and maintain his space in this crowded music business. He said as much on his latest single, Fighter, which is featured on the Things & Time Riddim produced by Pandemic Records.
“Fight di fight caa me born rough,
fight di fight caa me born tough,
struggles inna life nuff nuff,
still a buy di car dem weh well buff.”
Jah Lama‘s track is one of several, on the aforementioned compilation, that has gotten considerable rotation since the project was first shared in January. And in an effort to ensure that it gets maximum exposure, Lama in collaboration with the team at Pandemic Records, have just published the official video for Fighter.
