The late Jamaican Reggae musician High Priest Ellis and Amsterdam Hip Hop artist Ras Tariq release a great musical collaboration entitled "Call upon Jah name".

High Priest Ellis, born Pixley Ennis, died in a killer crash in the Westmoreland district in Jamaica at the end of last year. He started singing in the 80's and throughout his life he linked-up with a lot of Rastafari brethrens and musicians like Sizzla, Capleton, Junior Reid and many more. He got a call from Rastafari in 1991 and went to Bobo camp in 9miles - Bullbay St. Andrew, Jamaica, where he served as Priest. But his mission never ended; so he continued on his musical journey to uplift the nations.

During 2014 together with Fyah Mama Productions he met with Ras Tariq in Amsterdam where they collaborated on the new song. After the song was recorded they worked together with Dark Stars music and video production on the music video. “Call upon Jah name” is the first official single from Ras Tariq first studio album, scheduled for release in November 2015.
