Naya Records is thrilled to present one of the most highly anticipated albums in recent times, Green Fa Life. The long awaited solo album from Kiddus I heralds the return of the mysterious and captivating artist and activist who first made a name for himself in the film Rockers (1977) before unexpectedly stepping away from the scene without a trace. Green Fa Life proves the years have been well worth the wait.
Green Fa Life features guest musicians like Kiddus-I’s Rockers co-star, “Horsemouth”, and one Jamaica’s most accomplished guitarists, Earl “Chinna” Smith”. The album was co-mixed by Will Holland, known for his work with the Pixies and Dead Can Dance, at Chillhouse Studios in Boston, MA and features thirteen new tracks, all of which breathe fresh air into a tried and true classic rock-steady sound, anchored by the unforgettable baritone that is the voice of Kiddus I. Some of the track highlights inlcude the title track “Green Fa Life,” and thepolitically fueled “War.”
