Akae Beka’s “Living Testament” the Album, in-depth into the art.

Greeting in the Name of His Imperial Majesty, Qedamawi Haile Selassie, Jah Rastafari! Without whom we wouldn’t be here today and sharing the inspiration given to us as a gift from Jah. Reverence and Veneration to the Most High God, Jah Rastafari.

It is with a great joy to announce the new album while also reminded of the solemn gratitude that we have for the Hon. Vaughn Benjamin. His impact of our lives globally is a re-enforcement in the importance of our duties to trod on in the King’s Mission as Children of Jah.

LIVING TESTAMENT is the final album Vaughn Benjamin recorded before he transitioned in November of 2019. In late October of 2019, he travelled to Grass Valley, California, recording this 11-track album at Ras Biblical’s studio, Trinity Farm Music, over a period of 2 days. The producers gathered 11 masterful musicians on these tracks, including Manuel “Go A Chant” Guerra, Denfield “Ras Pulse” Potter, Walker Pillow, Scott Lynwood Davis, Befekadu Assefa and Tuff Lion. Together, these musicians weaved together a powerful family of songs that tell a timeless and truly unique story, a masterpiece of roots reggae.
LIVING TESTAMENT includes the single ‘Who Will Go For Us’ which was released on January 6th 2024 with a video filmed on location in Ethiopia. In the coming weeks, we’ll be speaking with Go A Chant and Biblical, who were present for the creation of this album. We’ll learn about these recording sessions and what happened behind the scenes.
LIVING TESTAMENT is a monumental album and an important piece of history. It will be available on LP, CD, and high-quality download on February 16th courtesy of Go A Chant, Trinity Farm Music, Before Zero Records, and I-Roots Records.
The music is exquisite and the CD has more music than the LP’s which have a 44 min limit. So it worth picking up both the CD and the LP to be able to get the most from this powerful spiritual roots ensemble. The CD also has a poster on it, featuring the album cover and an image created by artist, Eloy Guerra, which is of Akae Beka as Michael the Arc Angel slewing satan.  We will reason on the art in a little bit… !
Here is how you can support and get the single which just came out and also has its own art made special for the song. The Single, ” Who will go for Us ” was released Jan.5th with an amazing music video. Here is the link to the music video, filmed in Ethiopia : Akae Beka “Who will go for Us” Music Video

Akae Beka as Michael the Arc Angel. Art by Eloy Guerra on poster included in CD

Lets get into the Joy-tings, aka paintings! When I was asked to do the art for the album cover this piece by Eloy Guerra was already present as a meditation. I was asked what I thought, and I said it was brilliant and I wanted to make the polar opposite in harmony with this piece for the cover. Akae Beka, is an oath given from Jah to Michael the ArcAngel, no one else, just Michael, which means that Akae Beka is interlinked and connected to, we can say IS the personality of Michael the Arc Angel. The importance of this would reflect the manner of how we approach the project, which wasn’t as a project, but as a Living Testament. The title of album was revealed through the Rastafari Elder Jah Rubal, who was present during the recordings, and said when he heard the tunes, that this is the name of the album. Go A Chant and Trinity Farms Music worked on the album like you raise a child, carefully considering how to the present something that means so much to us all, and relay that in the presentation and final release. The artwork for the album cover InI did is a continuation and expansion of the piece that I was shown done by Eloy. In that I saw and heard what was said and what had already been expressed, in that the art for the cover would present a balance opposite and polar balance expressed through elements and symbols. That can be seen in various ways, First, the number element of the piece is from Eloy Guerra’s piece, Fire, Night and Vaughn, for the InI, the focus was Water, Day, and the King and Queen of Creation. In the piece of Michael the Arc Angel, you can see he is clearly the Arc Angel, while on the cover you will not even know he is, unless you count the number of angels in the clouds and have read the book of Enoch. There are six angels instead of seven, which are the number of Arc Angels, which Michael leads. Akae Beka is discreetly at the bottom with a special three personalities. Expanding on the Melchizadok order, with the Almighty is revealed in Three Trinitys, all which also encompass Akae Beka. The First being, Priest, Prophet, Warrior, with Vaughn representing the all three and the King in the Warrior, the other is Priest, Prophet and King, and Akae Beka being the Bridge of where these Three in One meet. The Last is the The Father of Fathers, The Mother of Mothers and Sons and Daughters of God, which is what we all are and everyone in the piece is. This is all in the Power of the Trinity, Haile Selassie who is Crown of Akae Beka.

"Living Testament" Original Art by Ras Elijah Tafari

“Living Testament” Original Art by Ras Elijah Tafari

The piece of Michael the Arc Angel by Eloy Guerra, we see a Judge, Jury and Executioner, where there are no children of Jah, just the devil and the Arc Angel. In order that we keep it to the Garden, aka Ethiopia, also the Cradle, we express that on both pieces, that Our God, Our Original Ancestors and the devil are all African or Black.  This is why everyone is also in African Attire on both images, with the exception of Akae Beka on the  album cover. On the Cover the clothing is East African, on the piece of Micheal, it is West African, which is another complimentary opposite. Likewise the hands of Akae Beka, on one they are holding scales and a sword, the other a in-scents  filled with smoke and his Left hand on The Rock of Jah, opposite and true. Same one in a different time and space. Same mission for the King and for the man, and for the Angels, prophets, priests and warriors, mothers, and Empresses from then till now.

There is a moon and city on the Michael the Arc Angel Piece, the opposite is happening on the album cover. On the album cover, there is only the Garden, so that we have a Genesis feeling, the Michael the Arc Angel piece feeling like Revelations. Also though it day and night, the light and sun is blocked by HIM, and that He is greater than the sun, in that the sun will not be seen in awareness of not using the Sun above Jah. On the piece of Michael the Arc Angel, Akae Beka has his hair out, on the Cover, Akae Beka is wearing the hat he wore for years, a simple Fishermans cap, complimenting the white skully or turban and garments that we would see as Akae Beka on his last years of witnessing and testimony.       “Living Testament ” from start to finish in and out, reflects a fullness that embraces the polarities and shares the unity like the lightening bolts in both pieces. There is also a Heavenly Trinity of Yashua The Christ, Enoch ascending in the whirl wind and Elijah on the Chariot of Fire.

The ideas in the cover, will be understood more once the album is heard. All of the tunes are reflected in the cover. The depth and vision that are sharpened by Vaughn’s words cannot be really expressed, and artistically, they are more than anyone can ask. There is a reason Akae Beka is in the Shadow of His Majesty.  I will let you figure out some of the other codes in names of the songs… ” S ” on the Chest” in Fire as the flames of the Chariot with The Prophet Elijah  and there is a whole piece just for  ”Who will go for Us” plus the first painting that was too busy that has never been shared.

Akae Beka: Who Will Go For Us Lyrics

Akae Beka: Who Will Go For Us Lyrics

There is a lot to get from this tune, and I thought it was very mystic that it was the single and video to announce the album. It interweaves 3 Bible stories, One of Eli and Samuel, the awakening of Samuel to the lords voice. Next of Jehoash being hidden so that the Queen of the Hebrews who was the daughter of Jezebel could not kill the remnant of the true line of Kings, and the chorus is Isaiah chapter 6:8 speaking about how Isaiah had to be purified in order to offer himself fully to Jah. The Purification is a theme in this tune, which is why it also mentions “bring down the oil to David send the anointed Cherub” A Cherub is an high angel represented in ancient times as a winged lion. The oil is the anointing from Jah, with man bowing to Jah’s elect high priest. Samuel did not know it was David he was to anoint, nor did Samuel know it would be Saul before him. He did as the Lord commanded, and likewise in the purification process, to reach the throne, our Kings have been children who had to be hidden, in battle and also chosen. What it means to be chosen is a long reasoning, however in short, it is to navigate thru in the Grace of Jah, the problems and crisis that arise. Always against massive odds, the overcoming can only be seen as a miracle, and an act of Jah. Glory to Jah and Blessed are those surrender to His Will in the face of persecution.

Here is the original Joy-ting piece for the song, ” Who Will Go For Us “, inside of it you can see each story and how it interplays visually.

Who Will Go For Us rough draft

Who Will Go For Us rough draft

After completing the piece I could feel Jah telling I that it wasn’t it. That I put in too much and missed the point that Akae Beka was clearly singing, which was the hook. Once I went and looked up the history of art and paintings that reference Isaiah 6:8 I was amazed how many pieces have been made over hundreds of years about this chapter and verse. After seeing all the ideas, I wanted to create a piece that had never been done, or anything like it. All the other pieces where dark and the Isaiah portrayed as light skinned, which I immediately said isn’t right. Isaiah spend 3 years naked in Ethiopia, he definitely wasn’t light skinned.

One of the emotions I wanted to capture on Isaiah’s face was fear, which is where he was before and during the encounter with the angels who were singing to Jah. In chapter 5 “ Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.”

The terror of seeing Jah, and the angels made him say Woe is me!.. realize the humility of this one, Isaiah is incredible. While most think they are pure and ready, this holy prophet admits quickly that his lips are unclean! That he and his people are dirty, and that he doesn’t feel worthy to see Jah. This inner standing, that he had, was seen by Jah, and in so many ways in reassurance that Jah see’s our hearts and that those who repent and surrender can be absolved and purified. The extreme purification of fire, and coals, are also very important in understanding that this isn’t some easy thing, and that Akae Beka was clear about that. That it is also ok to fear Jah, and do not let the fear hold you back. The chapter speaks that if you want to be all you can be, then you need to know that acknowledging where you are wrong is where you start to go right… you may need to read that again.. That by confronting our evils and faults, we give room for the Most High to heal us and correct us. This book is also here for us so it is known, even a man as great as the Prophet Isaiah had unclean lips and “his” people where also rudeboys, that redemption is still there through purification, those who are  asked, who will go for us?.. who like these men would say, ” Here am I, send me.” ?

In closing, this album is an act of love in the spirit of unity that allowed us to listen. Listen to Jah first, and remember what Jah has said and done through out mankind’s existence. To listen to Akae Beka, conscious and mindful this is his finale album recorded. Listen to the all the band members who poured their essence into each rift to make the instrumentation of the album compliment the complexity of the topics covered by Akae Beka. I personally would like to thank the distributors and companies that personally took time to make this album glow with love. They include, Mike with I-Roots Records, James Lord with Zojak Worldwide , and Jamie with Before Zero Records.  Every one in the production team in Ethiopia, especially the youth, thank you for bringing Zion closer to us all. Go A Chant Productions and Trinity Farms, this album will enrich humanity for as long as we live, give thanks for the hard work and diligence. Rastafari.

Bobby Hustle ” Proof of Concept ” About the music, man and art.

Bobby Hustle " Proof of Concept " Album now out!

Bobby Hustle ” Proof of Concept ” Album now out!

Bobby Hustle album ” Proof of Concept ” is out and worth supporting. He is someone who sings what he lives and lives what he sings. I’ll be real with ya, I only heard his music last year, and as usual seemed late to the game, none the less, after seeing him live, and meeting him, I realized that he wasn’t a typical Cali-roots reggae sound.. far from it. His approach to the music is unique, and he shares the journey in way that embraces others while respecting each ones unique shared vision of Right. Brother is deep, and the tunes catchy. In keeping with the Lion Order, he celebrates positivity in a manner that embraces Rastafari Livity. Rather than being cliche he shares with you his challenges and overcomings. Bobby Hustle includes a host of guest artists which sheds light on who he is inspired by, while proudly exclaiming Jah Love is Taller than a mountain in harmony with Mikey General.

When planning out the cover for the album, it was important to really get to know Bobby, and make something that would speak to his voyage. The theme of water and boats are regular on this album, and Biblical references to boats felt like a good place to start.  As someone on a ship, having his friends present was important in reality and in the painting, so we wanted to have a diversity of people, with a highlight on the guest artists and the sound system. Lutan Fyah, Mikey General, Koro Fyah, and Perfect Giddamani are all in the background, with a general feeling of ” Free Up” like the tune. From linking with Bobby Hustle, I noticed he seems to be introverted, though he is out going.. and this is why he is sitting alone, with a serious look. Much of Bobby’s voyage in life has been spent, thinking, waiting and being separated, for many reasons, including awaiting a verdict on a case which left him in limbo for years in Costa Rico. This stage of life, sequences of waiting for justice is in the water under Bobby in the painting. ” I had to hold my head up above the water, Won’t a lamb to slaughter, gotta keep that Lion Order always ”  from the tune ” Rock my Boat”

The Purple Lion shirt, reflects how reggae and hip hop have covered Bobby since his youth and the “S” on his hat symbolizes Seattle, his home town. His appreciation and love for those who helped him on his journey is regularly expressed, ” Love me like you do ” directed to a woman, isn’t a sappy tune, it lends a hand to a love tune that is simply appreciative. There are tunes that party feeling, just like the painting, and the humor and clever lines that have countless Jamaican references give a smile that any Reggae lover can relate to. Enjoy your Soursop juice and your spliff, Bobby is.. “Right Now” and on his “Day Off”.

Thank you for more than the inclusion, thank you for the heartfelt communications that help everyone. Respect. Jah Bless.

Why Reggae listeners should boycott Rastar Records

Greetings Rastafari and Reggae listeners worldwide,

One of the best things that can be done is to stand up and take some action to rebuke the wicked. In general I try to reserve judgment and learn from my own experiences, which I have done. From my own experiences,  ”Ebna Al Hakim Makonnen”  or Gaimon Bonitto  of Rastar Records is a liar and a thief.  He has lied to I and stolen from I as well as many others in the Rastafari and music community. He continues to threatens those in the community and has put out 2 albums that were not authorized for him to release. Both have InI art on the cover, one I gave permission and one I specifically did not. I did not know at the time of the first album what kind of person I was working with nor that the music was taken without consent. The first album is Akae Beka ” Defend Jah ” and the second is Akae Beka  ” La Corona Ship St. Mary of Tsion “. He also used my art on ” Black God Riddim” album without compensation.

These elements are largely accountable for sexual buy cialis dysfunction. The way coffee triggers sexual wellbeing- Well, knowing the wonders of coffee on the health can be in jeopardy. Therefore all these malfunctions that are happening to get combined to develop the sexual incapability can be restricted and therefore the blood can downtownsault.org getting prescription for viagra easily continue flowing with the natural pressure in the natural way. If you have only just met your partner, trust will not have matured yet, so india tadalafil tablets wait. From personal experience I have watched him encourage misinformation and spread rumors, and I am sure he is still doing it. If I hadn’t heard with my own ears that he was using me, I wouldn’t have imagined I was dealing with someone so disturbed.  Whether disturbed or not, his actions, threats and accusations warrant repercussions. InI want to make it clear on my website that Rastar Records specifically Gaimon Bonitto is an instigator that is mentally disturbed. Boycott Rastar Records, and if he steals from you, or threatens you, or anyone does, speak up and burn them out.  I choose to learn for myself what a devil he is, and that is why I present what I have seen. Not heresy and not others peoples issues. Judgement will come, whether in court or elsewhere.

InI wanted to make mention of those who should be acknowledged as we are inspired by their works, and that by their work that we can inspire others. When InI got the call from Jah Solid Rock Music I was honored to be included on this project and I loved the idea that came from the company. Many of us have a great joy and memory of iconic comics and covers, and he wanted I to make Jamaican super heroes to replace the iconic comic cover of Captain America and Falcon on Captain America issue 193. I thought it was cool and fitting for a blast from the past, legend Coxone Lloyd in an epic Trilogy Record burning Babylon down with his team of hero musicians! In that, I wanted and remember and acknowledge Jack Kirby, profound and iconic creative influence in many lives. He penciled and wrote that issue, and I tried to follow in his line work exactly as well as the colors on the original. The entire piece wasn’t included on the album cover, and the traditional manner of honoring the artist before was not seen. I wanted to honor the man right away, and give thanks for his inspiration and all those who made Captain America such a power figure in the imagination. In the comic world, we write “after” when we are doing a different version of a previous cover. I wanted to share the original and full piece, and a say humbly that this piece is after the Great Jack Kirby. Respect. 1917-1994…and still going. Big Up Jah Solid Rock Music, Ras Teo, Tuff Gong, and everyone involved and included. It will be epic because it will be ” SIR COXSONE CHAMPION SOUND!”

ALLHAIL

“ALL HAIL!” HAS BEEN RELEASED! Akae Beka and Ras Teo New Single!

ALL HAIL COVER

ALL HAIL COVER

 

For a single, It packs a punch! ” ALL HAIL ” a collaboration of epic modern roots singers. Akae Beka and Ras Teo bring Roots Reggae once again into the present day with a hard hitting gallop drums, on a stepper roots reggae riddim, produced by Roberto Sanchez.  Presented on 7 inch Vinyl with full color art work on the cover. It also contains a dub version that shows exactly why Roberto Sanchez has been a name in the Reggae world for decades.

To see JahSolidRock Music and Roberto Sanchez join together for the first time, meant the best musicians and production were to come.. It was an amazing journey watching the song being built to honor and respect the message of Akae Beka to the fullness. Ras Teo has been studying and listening to Vaughn Benjamin since 2003, and was a regular at Midnite shows. It was important that this song would reflect the power in the Word and Sound of the singers. The Message, the meaning, and we let that saturate the journey musically. The message was simple, ALL HAIL Emperor Haile Selassie I and be in awe that He Is in the time,  as prophesied,  He is real, true and factual.  Hosanna!

AllHail! credits!

The best musicians came, and Roberto kept putting more and more in. With the back-up vocals sang by Caveman and Monique the harmonies were exquisite, and then great organs from Reuben Telford. Dubby Ambassah, A-Lone Ark Muzik Studios,  who has done percussions for Roberto Sanchez for over 20 years, played the Kiente Drum, and also transcended shortly after recording on this tune. We would like to honor his life and send prayers to the family for Strength and Innerstanding. His Heart Iration pulses in this and many tunes, Give Jah Praise for such an up full one. Jah Bless his Eternal Soul.

This tune was deep and been cared for by time it arrived for InI to listen to. With excitement the piece brought into visualization the way the song makes InI feel. I loved the lyrics so much, I wanted to push artistically and think of new ways to express creatively the message in the song. It was time to bring in a new style, I have never done for an Akae Beka album art, and to use computer coloring. This allowed 250 plus colors to be absorbed accurately, and using realism and comic style, ( Vaughn would say, Street Saga’s) and aerosol art techniques with NYC letters, I attempted to do something new. Pouring out love for the project was an honor, and everyone cared more about doing their best, likewise pouring out love.  ALLHAILBLWHTPOSTERJSR

JahSolidRock Music and Marc Bronner said we need a music video and made it happen. Sherkhan videographer in Jamaica, found a wonderful group of youth, and an insightful elder and went to work. The video shows, the elder, taking the youth out of the city, and teaching them about the Earth and plants, the fish and rocks, and the Water, to the Teachings of His Imperial Majesty and poetry from Vaughn Benjamin, Akae Beka.  I wanted to send a royal salute to the Youth in the video, thank you for being here. We also would love to see more of Vaughn Benjamin’s the Koll Pekude reprinted so more people can have a copy, since it is out of print and circulation.

ALLHAILJERSEYADD

We reasoned on shirts and Ras Teo and InI were left in charge. I linked with a good Ras named Tom Sierra in Miami, who is also a bit of a fashion designer. For years, the printing of shirts has been a difficulty, never full color really or bright enough, and very hard to get the art all over the shirt, ect… Tom brought his skills to the table, and we had something to build on. We had been working together for a while already, so hashing out the details on the shirts was fun. After agreeing to the finale design, it was a joy when was ready to present. In an up full Kings Spirit, Ras Teo wanted his portion of the proceeds to go to an orphanage we work with in Gambia. ( Big Up Ebrima!) So 13 percent will be going their way.

All Glory to Emperor Haile Selassie I. The New E.P. Titled ” Selassie Run The Earth” is officially out !  This album is special to INI because for years many have watched as I grow musically, and its been full of poorly mixed and some tunes that are rough. Thank you for the focusing on message rather than production. In the recent years, since working with Diles real serious, we were able to make the studio a church where prayers just come… And the Sound is clean and clear. As time moves we see what has a really nice feel. Both of us have grown together spiritually and musically, this album is some of the tunes that we wanted to share now. Its important to let the blood flow, and I am very proud to share this work and present a work that represents unity in the name of the King of Kings and the Mission. It is a joy if any DJ’s or Radio folk want to play any of the tunes, and spread the message of Patience,Resurrection, Salvation. Thank you Dre-Z Melodi, Hakim B, Mike Gerdes, and especially Colin Diles who works tirelessly for the community to have a voice. Its a responsibility to speak and I am pleased to be able to put the brush down and break the chains with a chant every now and then. To keep balanced I have to come out the art cave. Blessed Earth Light Bob Marley aka Berhane Selassie. “Selassie Run The Earth” produced by Diles at Central Root Studio. You can hear the album here: https://visceralview.bandcamp.com/al…/selassie-run-the-earth …. or anywhere you listen to music..applemusic, spotify etc.. Hope you Full Joy. Jah Be Praised! He is the Alpha and Omega.Praise HIM in all your doings. Rastafari.

Give thanks for the Day! Part of how I have learned how to live is to move with the current, which allows fluidity. Many of us have learned to do what we love, and though to some this is a luxury. Let us reason on time. IF you love what you do, you dont keep track of hours or expect to be paid for them. It is a Itinual act of protecting the moment, and hence being present. In that presence are opportunities that can not be sparked unless willing and able to address it in that moment. It is how good music is made and art, you let the moment teach you. When it comes to both art and music, it is about the Spirit and listening. It like dancing with Jah, and sometimes, my moves may be off beat for sec, and then I get back into pocket. Life is here to praise The Most High. IF the art and music isnt what others want thats ok, its about what I do, and why.. In this journey less has to with what others think or do, and more about what we do and what we think, otherwise the communion has interference. When I create art or music it is for Jah, and it will have various textures that were tools in the moment to use for Rastafari. It is photo of a vision, a glimpse into feeling. When we put words or form to something we actually denigrate that from its original source. The best we can hope for is to produce an upful impression being that these ideas cannot be fully spoken or illustrated. Lots of art and music to come, because that what comes naturally. It is only a part of it. The fullness is to see how all these components can help propel us into a more just and conscious environment. It is all part of good to make a greater good. Let your Love Light pour out colors and embrace the oddities that will allow a gem to come out that is crystal clear in message. Thats the message, Let Love Rule. Rastafari Present.

AKAE BEKA DEFENDJAH RELEASE COMING..

So much things to say right now…Let Jah Be Praised. So many of you are aware of the uniqueness of the moment and this release of AKAE BEKA, DEFENDJAH. I would like to share some of what I am witnessing though it may be limited due to I scope of awareness. We have many unique and powerful one’s that surround Akae Beka, there is no past tense. These one’s have their own special place and purpose and will be inclined to do what they should do and with whom they should work. Within that field I do not want to simply see Good, I want to see Righteous and Holy works. Likewise when I make a piece of art I will spend often longer on a piece than the entire record took to make. I do this because it’s about doing the Best I can do..period. With anything that involves Akae Beka, I love when time and thought is put into every mix and action. With that said, I am actually pleased that Rastar Recordz has decided to postpone the release of the album, and only offer it in hard copies at first. I think is a wise and over due move, that actually allows the manufacturer and producers to handle distribution and not give it to youtube through whomever wishes to upload it. I personally feel that youtube, spotify, apple music and iTunes have been robbing the musicians and there is an alternative motive concerning publishing, payments, royalties and rights. It takes some serious study to realize how to not be exploited. So when the Hard Copies are made they will be sent off, and you can pre-order a copy as well. When will it happen,..Jah knows, like everything involved with this particular album it is mystic, and full of unusual turns. We are a strange and peculiar people it has been said.

Next topic is the Scroll, and words that accompany it. We will offer ” The Scroll of Reasons” with the explantation and hopefully a t-shirt as part of a package. That is in the mix, and I will let you know as it comes. With anything it is better to take your time. ..I know this may be off subject but I wanted to say something, Beyond what the politics are between the US and Iran, after watching the funeral of General Solomani, and watching how 50 people died attending the funeral because they were stepped on in a stampede hit a powerful cord of truth…No one can hurt you or embarrass you more than yourself, if you move to quickly, being ran by emotions you will trample yourself. Iranians aren’t the first or last, which is why this is more than a parable, when we take our time we are able to move in accord rather than discord. Anytime people walk on each other its a bad deal, from Walmart to the KabbaStone Hear INI. So with that, we are taking the time to make sure all is in accord with the One, in the Power of the Trinity moved by the Holy Spirit. Haile Selassie I. Jah Bless you all, Prayers of Power and Protection. Link anytime if the Spirit Moves.

I have had some feedback about the art and I wanted to address 3 topics so that it is crystal clear: 1. The figure on the left is an Ethiopia Orthodox Abuna in about the year 1954. He is not the Grim Reaper… 2. In No way would I ever put anyone above The Emperor. I feel that the Spirit of Christ was seen all around H.I.M. and that The Three Men as One were representative of the Power of the Trinity itself. This is why there is 3 doves to symbolize the Holy Spirit, and why there is a Cross of His Crown. I expected Orthodox Christians to have a issue with it, however it was devout Rastafari, that wanted it clearly put, in which I am in agreement, that Haile Selassie I is the Father of ALL.  Iyesus Christos is not above the Emperor or Center because He is Better. They are One, neither can be exact to each other because They are different thru properties. The Father is the Father, the Son is the Son and the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit, though They are One. Like water, being solid, liquid and gas. Lastly, (3) This isn’t the first time or the last I would imagine…I AM NOT PURPOSELY DRAWING MYSELF, I AM FROM NORTH EAST AFRICA, WE MAY HAVE SOME SIMILARITIES. I think all artists struggle with this from time to time, and when it comes to His Imperial Majesty many think I am drawing myself who don’t know the King of Kings. Those who know I would know that it would sac-religious and wicked for InI to ever think I could/would/should replace Christ or that I am trying to make the Emperor be I. I am a servant of the King, I put H.I.M. FIRST  and despise self exaltation, and am not worthy of all the blessings I have received. It is only because of Jah Mercy I am here. I love honest people asking questions and I welcome thoughts, and questions likewise. If I think I know the answer I will bring what I know or think to those who may benefit.  Jah Bless You all, and Give Thanks for Jah Mercy, and for His Judgment. In Everything Praise the King of Kings. Emperor Haile Selassie I First and Forever.
