Reggae’s Prince of the Battlefield,
Junior X Tours
With
Release of his Plead My Cause Album
Recording artist, and Reggae Prince of the Battlefield,
Junior X tours with the release of his sophomore album, Plead My Cause on the
Revolutionary Entertainment record label.
The 15 track disk which was released May, 2011, featuring
collaborations with Reggae royalty such as Queen IFrica and Gyptian, and has
been touted as one of the best Reggae albums for 2011. The album, which also features music
production from Dennis Livingston of Revolutionary Entertainment, Paul
Lowe-Chin of Chiney K Productions and Ezroy Francis of Mixing Lab, keeps the
spirit of Roots Reggae at the forefront for listeners.
Since the albums release, Junior X has travelled to California,
Boston, Delaware and Philadelphia, giving the artist an opportunity to connect
with fans as he shares his messages of hope and upliftment.
The albums lead single, “Not Afraid to Live” was written by
X himself. Known for making songs that
plead the cause of the people, X’s lyrics hit home when he says "This life
is like a free wave/ just let it come / just let it go / I faced this life the
hard way / until I learn to let it flow / the record shows I took the blows /
been through life's highs and lows ...."
The melody that accompanies the lyrics replicate that of the heart beat
in unison with the chant of the drum, only in place of the drum, the bass
guitar is used creating a pulse that connects the lyrics to the music. Radio
jock DJ Sparks says “this is a good song from Junior X who typically delivers
substantive lyrics for the people.”
Moving with the momentum of the feedback to “Not Afraid to
Live,” Junior X will be releasing his follow up single “You Saved Me” which
features Alborosie. The two artists make
equally powerful music, and chose this time to collaborate in hopes their
coming together musically will inspire fans.
The extra vibes fans feel from the song is an extension of the two
recording in Jamaica.
The title for the album, Plead My Cause, is seen as a
continuation of the international success Junior X received when his 2002 hit
song of the same name was released. “I’ve been through a lot in my career from
then until now. Just as the people go
through issues is the same way I go through issues. On this album, we go through life together,”
the artist said during his photo shoot in Boston, Massachusetts.
The video for the song was shot on location in Jamaica and
features the artists understanding of the hardships everyday people go through.
