Recently Kabaka Pyramid has been appearing on the Live Music scene in Kingston with live performances at the Manifesto Jamaica Festival 2010, Jaria Reggae Month 2010, Jamaica Vybez, The Next Generation of Reggae, Bands Incoporated (Featured by The Indiggnation Band), and Conversations - just to name a few.
The Conscious musician is a member of Manifesto Jamaica, which is an N.G.O. aiming to empower Jamaican youth through the arts and culture. Representing Manifesto JA, Kabaka has worked with friend and colleague Donisha Prendegast on the "Africa Unite" School Tour spreading the word of Rastafari and the liberation struggle in South Africa. Performing for the kids in school is an important part of Kabaka's vision for his musical career and is always willing to play his part in the movement.
The name "Kabaka" is Ugandan for "King" and Pyramids are thought by the artist to house the mathematical proportions of Universal Laws that are eminent in the creation of this universe. He seeks to embody these laws in his music, spreading truth and higher knowledge to the people who are prepared to listen.
He has just released his βRebel Musicβ EP which is free to the public at www.kabakapyramid.bandcamp.com. This project is a fusion of roots rock, reggae, dancehall and hip hop and is intended to show the world where Kabaka Pyramid is looking to take Jamaican music, as well as spread the positive messages of spirituality and conscious evolution that you find whenever he grabs a mic!
βTo me....Reggae and Hip Hop go hand in hand....when they procreate, Rebel Music is born! Some believe that each art form must remain pure....Iβm not here to oppose. But fusion is the foodstuff of evolution, and evolution is constant - both physically and spirituallyβ - Kabaka Pyramid
βKabaka Pyramid is one of the most promising talents I have seen in a whileβ - Protoje
βIt is a tasty mix of roots and early dancehall scented with some hip-hopβ - United reggae Magazine on Rebel music
βWith a solid list of skills not only in the booth but on the mixing board, and an array of lyrics that preach a message of love, self-awareness and African pride, Kabaka Pyramid is well on his way to a career that should not only lead to greatness but also lead a lot of fans to righteousnessβ - Aesthetics Now Magazine

Kabaka Pyramid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
The younger generation have the vision
Pressure Busspipe and Kabaka Yuuuuhh (Accurate!)
To all my sons and daughters yuh
Mi go say
Make way
Rastaman bursting through your gateway
Trodding through the narrow and the straight way (skibbilibeng)
So mi go say
Make way
Ghetto youth bursting through your gateway
Holy Mount Zion I a maintain
Trodding through the narrow and the straight way
Watch yah now, Pressure
That one yuh name
Make way 'cause a hurricane a pass
Me sorry for anything we come inna we path
Dem a go call we terrorist
When time we drop this like a bomb
The Kontraband
Off the pain upon (?)
Whenever I perform
See the youths dem form like Voltron
We no programmed
With dem slogan
Everyone strong like Hulk Hogan
Stronger than the Ganja round a Oakland
We stronger than the pyramids weh stand upon mi homeland
Jamaica where we born the situation kind of sticky
The youths dem a the future
But the leaders are over sixty
I try shall lead the way
And then impurity pon mystic
When the revolution start yeah
That one now going down in history
Mi go say
Make way
Rastaman bursting through your gateway
Trod a Mount Zion that's the safe way
Trodding through the narrow and the straight way (skibbilibeng)
So mi go say
Make way
Ghetto youth bursting through your gateway
Holy Mount Zion I a maintain
Trodding through the narrow and the straight way
Ay
This natty dread a move on
The fyah yah no look warm
Let me take some time fi clarify all this confusion
There is too much pollution
Inside them institution
Rastafari is our alternative solution
Some things you cannot run from
Like energy consumption
Non-renewable energy inna every area of production
The climate in dysfunction
Vulcanic eruption
Earthquakes and tsunamis cause catastrophic destruction
The people inna crisis
Blaming it on ISIS
Terrorist dem funded by the same ones weh a fight it
The Russians and the Chinese
The States that are not united
World War Three and everybody is invited
So hey
Make way
Rastaman bursting through your gateway
Trod a Mount Zion that's the safe way
Trodding through the narrow and the straight way
So mi go say
Make way (skibbilibeng)
Ghetto youth bursting through your gateway
Holy Mount Zion I a maintain
Trodding through the narrow and the straight way
This is a warning to
The one dem a go dem a distribute
One dem a running the institute
Tired fi see dem a diss the youth
And a move like say dem invincible
I and I study the principal of life
Weh manifest in triple
Nuff a dem eyes dem in cripple
Capital dem third ventricle
See dema come in dem tentacles
Dem seeking after life
Like dem no know the youths them sensible and a pree the afterlife
That is only just a phase in the circle of return
In the fever of destruction
I am the fire that will burn
Watch the food and what you eat
The schools and what you teach
Know the universal laws are never the rules of what they preach
Watch your own and watch your speech
The company you keep
Be aware of the pollution that dem dumpin' inna the street
Low the dumplin' and the wheat
Just reach towards the greens
The youths not hungry for no meat
We no dumb we no retreat
This is no something for the tweet
The fyah I release
A make
Babylon just drop it a we feet
Pressure say
It a go say
Make way
Rastaman bursting through your gateway
Trod a Mount Zion that's the safe way
Trodding through the narrow and the straight way (skibbilibeng)
So mi go say
Make way
Ghetto youth bursting through your gateway
Holy Mount Zion I a maintain
Trodding through the narrow and the straight way
Huh
Wo nan nan wo nan nan
Accurate!
Ye ye ye ye ye
Make way cah you good fi get run over
Dem Rastafari youths dem taking over
Man ah trod it like a soldier
Accurate, immaculate!

Shalom Aleichem mispatcha we the melenated people are the real B'nai YISRAEL !!!? Arise true children of YAH haleluYAH! Rastafari is a staple in the quest for freedom for YAH people! Ethiopia is the third kingdom of the Hebrews years indeed YAH says in the book of the prophet Amos we see YAHUAH ELOHEINU sentiment for the children of kush aka Ethiopia expressed in the same sentiment as the children of YISRAEL
@Ben_yasharel
Amos 9:7-10 KJV
Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

Cocolos (Southern slaves and Brittish colonies descendants born in Dominican Republic) in tune with this deep life lesson. More tangible as time hardens over us.
