JahBeng’s first single from his second CD ‘River of Healing’, is entitled “Biggest Part Of Me”, and indeed the introspective content of his music at large is evident of him sharing a big part of himself. Through his music, JahBeng shares his hope for “all people to wake up and see the world as a connected entity;” A world where “the message of love, righteous actions, Black liberation and hence the liberation of the whole human race”, is understood, and abounds. With such contemplative songs as rucial State’, I am’ and River of healing’, JahBeng offers essential words of wisdom to all who will listen. As such, he recently took time out of his busy schedule to enlighten WJ about his early inspirations, his imperative musical message, and his noble plan for a better future, for others.
