[airofjah]

I've also been looking for information about Jah Big for more than one year and the truth that It's difficult to find it, but one year ago I found a fan page from him on facebook where you can get some of information about him. In this fan page say that Jah Big's localidad natal is Richmond, VA/ San Francisco CA. Certainly I've also got his album "Music So Hot" as many of you.

I knew Jah Big personally, and saw him perform many times around the San Francisco Bay Area. His real name was Randy, and his heart and kindness, were as big as he was. i miss him to this day.

I just picked up his vinyl from a collector I know 10$

It's pretty killer for an American making Caribbean music.

I read enjoy it. He has a photo of his daughter Isis on the sleeve.
A song dedicated to her too

For $10?? Or was I reading that wrong? :p

Yeah I've only heard a few tracks but all sound great. Another artist the world should hear.
