About Jelani Aswad

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My earliest music memory includes one of my first performances singing at Nationwide competition. I was literally terrified but I pushed through. I caught the performance bug that day and realized I would live a life on stage after that day. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Andy Mineo, Heroes for Sale Bob Marley & The Wailers, Babylon By Bus (Live) [2013 Remaster] JAY-Z, The Blueprint 3 albums = 3 phrases of my life. "The Blueprint" taught me the finesse required in hip-hop. The excellent, raw, reality rap. Babylon By Bus reps my Rasta Caribbean heritage in a Live Recording, "Heroes for Sale" said to me, "Christians can rap too." Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Death Around the Corner” This song speaks life to me and to the communities across the world facing death in numbers we have never seen before. It reminds me to go hard for what I believe. To remain a "Hope Dealer" in a world full of hopelessness. MORE LIFE!
