In summer of 2007, world-renowned reggae heavyweight Jah Cure was released from prison after serving eight years for a crime the artist maintains he did not commit. Though such an experience would leave most bitter and jaded, Cure emerged from the ordeal more driven than ever to spread positivity and spirituality through his music. Nowhere is that attitude clearer than on the Kingston native’s latest single (and first Booth feature), a tribute to the redemptive power of Unconditional Love. Over the The Beat Zone Inc.‘s mellow acoustic-guitar instrumental (complete with chill-inducing strings on the chorus), Jah tells the story of a woman whose life is changed by a chance encounter at the corner store. R&B singer Phylissia (Ne-Yo‘s collaborator on Sunshine) plays the female role, delivering seductive lines in Spanish throughout the track as well as showing off her pipes on the final verse and chorus. This poignant promo cut isn’t set for inclusion on any forthcoming project, but those who like what they’re hearing can find more on 2009’s Universal Cure LP, Jah’s first project recorded since his release from prison.

Wow this is a really good song. I'm really glad I listened to it. Those guitars in the production are beautiful (yep thats the word that comes to mind) and his vocals were GREAT with it. And also add in his positive message (got a lot of respect for him to come out of prison with a positive attitude and promote in a pro-active way such as music). I gotta give this a 5. Damn!

I listened to this on repeat (similar to GStan) for nearly an hour the other day. It made going through e-mails blissful. This is an amazing record.

Wasn't familiar with Jah's music before this, but goddamn. A little Spanish style guitar, and those vocals? One of the best cuts I've heard in a minute.

If you are gonna make a song that shares a title with tupac, it had better be some quality material...and this does not disappoint! It was kinda like the first time I heard three little birds, i got that butterfly feeling and it just made me smile with my heart.

It just hit me that he was on the "I'm yours" remix with lil wayne. It's not quite as good as this, but it's pretty cool if you wanna hear some more Jah Cure.

Jah Cure is truly a legend! I havent heard a song from him in a while and I just came across this. Unconditional Love is a great song, reminds me of when I used to listen to Cure. Glad to hear he is coming with new music! This guy reminds me a lot of Bob Marley, such a beautiful voice!!

Doesn't this song lift ur spirits?! This track is so right on time with all which has taken place in Haiti and how so many of us are still struggling through economic crisis. We all could use a little unconditional love from each other.

Whoa! The melodic guitar is amazing, sends a missile straight to the pleasure zones. And the expressed emotion is reflected in each key played, each note sung.
It exceeded my expectations, which were already pretty lofty due to all the above comments/ratings. Whoa! |

I can't believe I've been sleeping on this dude for so long. From the production to the lyrics, this song is beautiful record and is worth no more than the highest honors. Mad props to Jah Rule, I won't be sleeping on him again.

I could have done without all the spanish narrative but the message, his voice and the guitar are amazing. It makes me feel like I should be driving with the windows down after a long summer rain in the Caribbean. Love it!
