Mad Professor & Yabby You – Jahovia
Jahovia brings together two true reggae heavyweights: Vivian Jackson, better known as Yabby You, on vocals, and Mad Professor at the controls. Originally recorded at Ariwa Studios in the mid-90s, this powerful collaboration finally lands on vinyl for the first time.
The vocal cut carries Yabby You’s unmistakable spiritual weight, with that fragile but commanding presence that made his music so unique. Over Mad Professor’s deep and spacious production, his voice cuts through with a mystical, devotional feeling, sitting perfectly inside the Ariwa sound.
Alongside the vocal, the A-side also includes a dub of the same rhythm, with the Professor opening up the track in proper Ariwa style. On the flip, as expected from a serious Ariwa 12”, we get an additional and completely different dub: Fake News Dub. Deep, heavy and beautifully atmospheric, it pushes the bass forward and takes the record into darker, more meditative territory.
An essential Ariwa 12”, linking Yabby You’s roots spirituality with Mad Professor’s dubwise mastery. Serious music for collectors, selectors and deep dub heads alike.
