Jahshii asks for ‘Protection’

Despite his recent troubles, dancehall artiste Jahshii has decided to dust himself off and focus on redemption.

On his latest single, Protection, which is produced by Producer Ajal, the embattled deejay reflects on his life experiences, while acknowledging that the Creator has a higher purpose for him.

Frassman Brilliant is also featured on the single, which is scheduled for release on Friday.

"I've been down this road before, but Jah protect me," said Jahshii in the song, which also tackles fake friends, bad mind and betrayal.

"Despite what I have been through in my life and the unfortunate situations that have occurred, I know that there is a true God, and I look to him for guidance and protection," said Jahshii.

The entertainer and his entourage were attacked earlier this month by gunmen, who shot up the vehicle in which they were travelling. Jahshii was unhurt, but members of his group were injured.

Frassman Brilliant said the song is relatable for him as well.

"The inspiration behind the song is just the things that Jahshii is actually going through right now, and I've been down that road before, so it was coming from life experience," said Frassman Brilliant.

Protection is the latest single from Producer Ajal, who recently teamed up with Demarco on the song Charge Fi Yuh, and with Teejay on Faith.

Said Producer Ajal, "It was a pleasure working with both artistes (Jahshii and Frassman Brilliant) on this track. They're both talented and have had similar life experiences, which allow them to speak from the heart and add pure emotions to the track. I am confident that this song will motivate the world to overcome and persevere."
