.@JahLilMusicJA & Tanzie Fight “Poverty” On New Single


In a world where attaining wealth and luxury are the focus, living in poverty is the reality that many of us face. The world nuh level as they say, and we’re working on making our lives better than it ever was. Recording Artist Jah Lil understands the frustration when it comes to living poor, and he doesn’t want us to accept that reality, but to overcome it. He speaks on his new single, “Poverty“.

Produced by Cloud Beats and featuring Singer Tanzie, “Poverty” finds Jah Lil wanting to change the narrative, and encourage more of us to escape that construct that aims to keep us locked in. Not every problem will be solved when one has wealth, but the goal is to live better, and do good in this world. Jah Lil and Tanzie join voices and make for a great collaboration, and may inspire moves that call for great actions towards a system that doesn’t love us. Jah Lil may be gearing up for a new project to be released later this year, but at the moment, he’s sowing the seeds that help to build more anticipation, and you might find him on a stage near you, so stay tuned. Ghetto yute haffi rich!

He puts the spotlight on issues that still affect many to this day and around this time of the year. Not your typical Christmas song, but something to think about.
