OLDIES SUNDAY: Chuck Fenda – Jah It’s All About You (1996)

The Month of June is recognized as “Caribbean American Heritage Month“, and on Oldies Sunday, we want to highlight a few Artists who are a part of this. Today’s selection comes from Reggae/Dancehall Artist Chuck Fenda with the single, “Jah It’s All About You“.

Produced by King Jammy’s on the “Money Money Riddim” and released through the Jammy’s label in 1996, Chuck Fenda uses his talents to give praise to Jah in “Jah It’s All About You”. Throughout the song, he shares the many things that Jah has done for him, the ways he pays back for those blessings, and shows his gratitude. Listeners are also encouraged to seek Jah because there is so much going on in the world, and the people need guidance. “Jah It’s All About You” gained some attention for Fenda following its release, and allowed him to perform the track at various events. The Music Video that accompanied the single was his first official visual, and was directed by Llewellyn “Big Daddy Leo” O’Reggio.

Since the release of “Jah It’s All About You”, Chuck Fenda went on to have a successful music career which included the release of a number of hit singles and albums. Thanks to his music and messages, he earned titles like “Poor People Defender” and “The Living Fire“. He also assisted in developing the career of Dancehall Artist Jada Kingdom. Born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in Jamaica, Fenda embodied his Jamaican heritage, and contributed to the further growth of Reggae Music. He is recognized during “Caribbean American Heritage Month”, and Jah It’s All About You” is still played today.
