SAN­DRA L BLOOD

JAhf Reach got a burst of high­er en­er­gy with Siz­zla Kalon­ji on his new Ex­plic­it Free Speech Al­bum–his sec­ond in less than two years.

His first, but re­cent so­ca CABAh Lifestyle Al­bum that was re­leased in March of 2022, did not dis­ap­point. It was streamed over 200,000 times just on so­cial me­dia plat­forms alone, and 400,000 com­bined and still count­ing.

JAhf Reach said not on­ly did the al­bum cre­ate his­to­ry, but it set the bar very high even for him­self with some hard hits from 20 tracks, 10 col­lab­o­ra­tions, and four mu­sic videos that at­tract­ed over 25,000 new In­sta­gram fol­low­ers and write ups in news ar­ti­cles glob­al­ly.

Ac­cord­ing to the re­lease, mu­sic crit­ics said the al­bum will for­ev­er be a favourite.

“JAhf’s mu­sic is very in­fec­tious with it now be­ing played all over the world in many coun­tries. Every­one will be ea­ger to hear what his new al­bum will bring to old and new lis­ten­er’s ear. The CABAh Lifestyle Dj/Sing­jay, record pro­duc­er, and singer/song­writer, is known for push­ing bound­aries when­ev­er he de­liv­ers on a record. His high-en­er­gy, pas­sion­ate, and con­fi­dent vibe keeps you want­i­ng more,” it said.

JAhf Reach said it’s a risky move usu­al­ly to push the lim­its as a new artiste, but it clear­ly paid off for him, as it has now gained him such no­to­ri­ety that the liv­ing Ja­maican dance­hall leg­end him­self, Siz­zla Kalon­ji, is on the Live Longer song with the con­tro­ver­sial JAhf Reach.

When asked about his ex­pe­ri­ence work­ing with Siz­zla, JAhf Reach said, “I am tru­ly hum­bled by the ex­pe­ri­ence and it goes to show that hard work with con­sis­ten­cy tru­ly pays off be­cause I grew up lis­ten­ing to Siz­zla, and to have a song with him now, is a true bless­ing.”

Live Longer, a dance­hall/reg­gae track, will be re­leased in or be­fore No­vem­ber 2023.

A mu­sic video for the song is in the mak­ing.

Mean­while, when asked about the up­com­ing Ex­plic­it Free Speech al­bum, JAhf said, “Suc­cess comes at a cost, and com­ing from a small vil­lage in a small-is­land coun­try, I am go­ing to tell it all in a way that’s nev­er been heard be­fore. This al­bum will have some­thing for every­one in the en­tire fam­i­ly and neigh­bour­hood, with at least 13 tracks and six col­lab­o­ra­tions.”

The al­bum’s sched­uled for re­lease on Jan­u­ary 31, 2024.

In the so­ca are­na, the dance­hall/reg­gae, hip-hop, R&B JAhf Reach has col­lab­o­rat­ed with for­mer In­ter­na­tion­al Pow­er So­ca Monarch Iw­er George and reign­ing Groovy So­ca Monarch, Col­lege Boy Jessie, among oth­ers.
