Share

Yaksta’s “The Microphone Saved Me” album hits no. 3 on the U.S. iTunes reggae albums chart, marking the Bush Lawd's strongest commercial showing to date.

His Sophomore album’s achievement places the Jamaican recording artiste between Bob Marley & The Wailers’ enduring compilation Legend at No. 2 and Capleton’s Heights of Fire at No. 4.

Among reggae devotees, music commentators & cultural tastemakers, the independent release has become one of the year’s most talked-about projects; a body of work praised for its uncompromising lyricism, Rastafari consciousness and roots-driven production.

Yaksta first released the project on June 15th to his core-fans through his own platform, YakstaWorld.com.

The 15-track album has followed an increasingly uncommon trajectory in today’s music business.
