DeraJAH – Asadenaki (2022) Single

Label: In House Music
Release date: 11/25/2022

Derajah has been making records since the early 2000’s, but his big break arrived when he started partnering with prominent guitarist Earl “Chinna” Smith and his band Inna De Yard. However, his 2011 debut album Paris is Burning was recorded with French and Jamaican musicians. Derajah has worked on a variety of projects since the premiere of his debut, including the production of his brand new song Asadenaki, whose instrumentation was recorded in Brazil and whose vocals were produced in Jamaica.

“Asadenaki is an East African language work that symbolize “Mystery” says Derajah, and continues: “Togetherness is always essential in the Rastafari household, according to Emperor HIM Haile Selassie. When he was going to be crowned, he showed this to the world, letting everyone know that without Empress Queen Menen Asfaw, it is impossible to be crowned. As a result, we must concentrate and organize. No division. As a team, we are powerful. So purify your hearts and enter the Rastafari household immediately.”

His 2016 self-produced single The Time Is Now served as an album announcement but was delayed when he re-joined Inna de Yard project in 2017. Derajah is once again concentrating on his own craft and that this new track is the first in a new series, as he concludes: “it puts my path in a new context. I’ve made the decision to keep up my goal of releasing a new song each month.”.
