“As a Rastafarian the use of marijuana, or herb as we Rastas call it, is an essential part of our philosophy.
Therefore, we as Rastafari often express ourselves with songs about that, just as I have, to heighten awareness and share the feeling of community that it brings us,” Rose explained.
Scientists have often highlighted the medicinal value of the marijuana plant. Several countries have followed suit in decriminalizing and legalizing its use. Rose, who scored multiple hits with Black Uhuru (the first winner of the Best Reggae Recording award in 1985) shared his thoughts on the medicinal benefits of marijuana.
“Well, it is an herb and plants are good for everything. At times it is used to distance my thoughts from the world
around me and to re-direct that energy into life itself.It is a practice of meditation into an elevated state of being for me and each time I consume the herb a revelatory thought is reached so that is the beauty and healing of it for me personally,” said Rose.
About working with Producer Ajal on the project:
“Working with Producer Ajal was smooth and easy. He put together a team which feels more like a family.
The positive energy helps the process along and the outcome is always the greatest.
The relationship
has been organic and vibes naturally with Ajal. Nice clean work is getting done and you can definitely expect more projects to follow with him.”
