The bible talks about the Twelve Tribes of Israel and Judah, the fourth son of Jacob; according to Genesis 49 vs. 8 - that says: "Judah, you are whom your brothers shall praise; your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; your father's children shall bow down before you."

Along with famed engineer and producer Scientist, Dylan has co-produced a self titled solo album. Its release launched him into non-stop club and festival appearances throughout the US and beyond.

Jamaica Born, Sugar Black, discovered his musical passion singing in his school choir as a child. Motivated and extremely talented, he became the youngest apprentice of the Black Star Sound System at age 12. As Sugar Black grew older and his career evolved, he began recording for Tony Rebel's Flames Production and released a series of legendary singles including the 1997 hit 'Oh Jah.'

During that same year he traveled the world with Lebanchuleh when he took part in the 'Jah by My Side' international tour and it was then that he met Reggae star Warrior King; who is featured on Black Judah's upcoming release.

Sugar Black has consistently been performing and creating music solo and also collaborating with many of reggae music's great artists from Jamaica to Los Angeles. In 2000 he met with Teflon Blood's CEO Dylan Waier in California and the rest is history.

For years now, Black Judah has been coming together to make music with some of the industry's top players. They have been hard at work on their debut album, with riddims from Firehouse's Kirk Bennet and beats from Dave Aaron.

Merging the creative vision as well as lyrical and vocal talent of Sugar Black and Dylan Judah, has resulted in a conscious yet club friendly dancehall sound. Tracks on the upcoming album feature artists like: Elephant Man, Anthony B and Warrior King.

When YardFlex caught up with Black Judah and asked about their new video for the song "Mercy Please" that features Warrior King; Sugar Black said, "I really love this video and the directors Asha of Slingshot and Tingle of TD Films brought out exactly what the song is about."

Dylan said, "I am really happy with it." He was quick to point out that he admired previous work from Asha and Tingle; so choosing them as video directors was a natural progression. According to Sugar Black "They actually have the best equipment as local videographers/directors and their previous concepts and scripts were real."

Warrior King said "Sugar Black and I were already brethrens so when I got the call to do the song I knew that it was ordained...this is the best video I have ever done. I loved the vibration with everybody working together." He also acknowledges that reggae music gives him the opportunity to take the message of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I to people around the world. "Jah gave the word and great is the company of them that publish it," he declared.

The single is already steady in radio rotation and was recorded at Cell Block with Sugar Black and Warrior King then taken to California for Judah to do his part. The video for the single was shot on location at Gun Boat, Down Town Kingston and in a house on Hagley Park Road. The video's concept surrounds a Rasta man who sells fruits for a living and is tormented on a daily basis by thugs who are jealous because girls seem to flock him. They harass him constantly; the man manages to elude them but they finally catch up with him and he is badly beaten. At the end of the video we see a regrouping of Black Judah, Warrior King and the beaten man. Dylan says "this part represents a strengthening of the Rasta man."

The duo has performed at the Asylum anniversary 2006 and has graced the stage of the Bob Marley day Celebration in California. They will also be at the Summer Festival there. House of Blues and Jamaica Gold are two of the well known venues the duo has performed at and you can look out for Black Judah at all of this summer's hottest Reggae festivals throughout Jamaica and California.

The album is scheduled to drop in early 2008 along with a Teflon Blood tour featuring Black Judah and today's top reggae artists.
