As Douglas sings, βwe live in a land, we got so much to give thanks for,β the track lands as an optimistic ode, aiming to shine light thru the many social and political issues plaguing the world.
βThree years ago, I performed at a reggae festival in Toronto with General Trees as the headliner,β Douglas recalls on how βJah Childrenβ and the collaboration came to be. βI was so impressed with his performanceβ¦ He had the audience in his hands.
βI invited the General to Side Door studio to put a rap on βJah Children,ββ he continues. βHe accepted my invitation, and we played the track for himβ¦ He looked at me and smiled; it took him less than one hour to do his rap, he was so excited.β
