A singer who fuses reggae with R&B, hip-hop, and rock, J Boog is the stage name of Jerry Afemata, who was born in Long Beach, California but primarily raised in Compton. Of Samoan ancestry (his father was a tribal chief in his neighborhood), Boog's first influence was his sister, who sang and played piano. When she got a book of Bob Marley's classic songs, Boog began singing along, and when he was nine, the two performed a cover of Whitney Houston's "One Moment in Time" at a family reunion, in front of an audience of 200. Raised on an eclectic musical diet of classic reggae, West Coast hip-hop, vintage R&B, and a dash of hard rock, Boog gravitated to the laid-back attitude but taut grooves of reggae, and he began writing and recording his own tunes during downtime from his job at an oil refinery. In 2005, Boog traveled to Hawaii, where he met one of his favorite singers, George "Fiji" Veikoso; Boog gave him a copy of one of his mixtapes, and Veikoso thought Boog showed promise. Veikoso helped produce Boog's 2007 debut album, Hear Me Roar, which cracked the Top Ten of the American reggae charts; by this time, Boog was living in Hawaii. In 2008, Boog began working with veteran reggae artists Yami Bolo and Gramps Morgan (of the group Morgan Heritage), and launched a fruitful association with Hawaii's Wash House Records label. After absorbing reggae's history during a visit to Jamaica, Boog released a self-titled EP in June 2011, with his second full-length album, Backyard Boogie, appearing three months later. Featuring the singles "Let Me Know," "Let's Do It Again," and "Sunshine Girl," Backyard Boogie was a major success for J Boog, rising to the top of the U.S. reggae album charts in 2011, and claiming the top spot again in 2012 and 2013. A four-song EP, Live Up!, appeared in July 2013, and a collaborative single with Anuhea and SOJA, "Easier," dropped in 2014. After making guest appearances on releases by Gappy Ranks, Morgan Heritage, and Raging Fyah, Boog released the Rose Petals EP in March 2016. The release was a warm-up for Boog's third full-length album, Wash House Ting, which was released in November 2016.

J Boog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ah,
Never knew a love (girl) that made me feel the way you do
I remember talking it up until the morning dew
and, I never knew that this can get so far
Love to take it back from the top backyard?
can't get over all the little thing that you do
whoa girl you done did it now,
bout to flip it up and break your body down
My baby she's a mystery,
she only love me when she tipsy,
when we sipping on Tennessee whisky,
thats the only time that I feel like she miss me
and when she sober again she a diss me,
Sober, acting like she don't wanna come over
pulling in me driveway in da rover
driving me so crazy like a choufer (spelling)
then she stop in town every time me show on
Thought I was in love until she came up on the scene
now infatuations got me feeling' like feen
stayin' up late waiting all night long,
can't wait to see your face walking through my door
what the hell is up there's a change in your attitude
need some serious help and sign up for council too
me (need) so serious ill sign up for council too? nah,
Hopefully the storm gets calm,
sirens wail out.)
(knew that it would come to this time
fully recovered saying the same old line
My baby she's a mystery,
she only love me when she tipsy,
when we sipping on Tennessee whisky,
thats the only time that I feel like she miss me
and when she sober again she a diss me,
Sober, acting like she don't wanna come over
pulling in me driveway in da rover
driving me so crazy like a choufer (spelling)
then she stop in town every time me show on
Now she back in love and we wavin' our crystal glass
she saying you with me forever don't know if it'll last, ohh
no other niggas spoiling the mood
make sure i have plenty liquids keep her feeling cool.
In J Boog's song Mystery, the artist expresses his feelings for a woman who he describes as a mystery. He admits he's never felt the way he feels about her before, and despite their ups and downs, he can't seem to let her go. He talks about how she only loves him when she's tipsy and distant when sober. When they do spend time together, she makes it memorable with special touches that excite him. He describes her as driving him crazy like a chauffeur, yet he can't help feeling infatuated with her, waiting up all night just to see her. When they're apart or going through a rough patch, he feels like he needs serious help.
The song is about the struggle of loving someone who you can't fully understand, who makes you feel both elated and lost at times. J Boog acknowledges that the relationship is far from perfect and knows that it could end in a storm. Yet, he hopes that the love between them will eventually calm the storm and that they will be happy enjoying crystal glasses of liquor together.
