For many, birthdays are considered a time for celebration and merriment, ironically for dancehall recording artiste Jah vinci, it's a time of grief and reflection following an unfortunate tragedy a few years ago.

Born February 9, the singer on several occasions has found himself grappling with the reality of losing his beloved brother, Mark Anthony White, on that exact day six years ago, after he was gunned down near Cassava Piece by unknown assailants in a case of mistaken identity. Since then, Jah vinci has never celebrated his special day, but instead uses the occasion as a memorial for his older sibling.

Though he has never spoken publicly about the incident, the Watch Yuh Friends singer has always tried to find various avenues to channel his grief, and recently penned a composition titled Nobody Knows (Where Do Angels Go) in dedication to this brother.

Produced by Triple Dose Productions, the somber ballad sees the singer asking the thought-provoking question, "So when a innocent life pass, di one dem weh get tek weh innd di dark. dem seh seh tings weh, happen, yuh nuffi question di Lord, but dis mek mi affi ask, oh God, where do angels go when they die?"

solace

According to Triple Dose Production - Jah vinci's management team - the decision to record the song was based on their belief that it would offer some level of therapeutic solace for the artiste during this reflective period. The song, along with an accompanying video, is slated for official release this week. The very compelling visuals were shot in Grenada by Grenada-based film company, Novo Films, whose accolade includes working on numerous projects with the Grenadian National Museum.

Jah vinci was in Grenada for the newly shaped Guinness bottle launch at the Galaxy Nightclub in Carenage, St George's.
