First Listen: Jabee - No Allegiance

Jabee drops his new single titled ‘No Allegiance’. When lyrics help carry the rhythm and the beat lays in the banter, those words help punctuate the message. Featured as part of the album titled ‘This World Is So Fragile and Cruel I’m Glad I Got You’, out June 26, 2020, that title seems almost prophetic given the current climate. Starting out in that beautiful and musical way that captures that moment and attention setting the mood for the mic, Jabee gives a set of punctual platitudes that build hope and sets the stage for all who want to take it.
