Today, July 23rd, 2024, marks the 132nd anniversary of the birth of Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, who is the inspiration for Rastafari, an Afrocentric spiritual and cultural movement that developed in Jamaica during the 1930s, contributing to the birth of Reggae music (which translates to "King's Music"), greatly brought to prominence by Bob Marley and continues to be a deeply sacred phenomenon rooted in its tradition of social commentary, African ancestry, ancient practices, and different forms of prayer.
"Prayerz Up" single and music video, strategically released on this day to commemorate the Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah himself, Haile Selassie I, is a collaboration between California’s Oakland-based revolutionary Hip Hop artist Ras Ceylon and his brethren, Reggae/ Dancehall legend Sizzla Kalonji, and Chalice Row Records labelmate Young Shanty.
