Liner Notes




In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God.


All praises due the almighty, the Might of the Trinity, conquering Man Lion of the tribe of Judah, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, through whom all things are possible. Seek ye first the kingdom of Jah and all other things shall be added unto you.


Special thanks to Lorne "Bumpy" Maxime for your unwavering support. Nuff respect to Ras Shalom for you hard work and perseverance. Also thanks to Shenneth Canegata, and Sharrif Maddox for your countless hours and late night sessions of tiresome work. To Krishna Banawaree give thanks for the original artwork.
