Roots Reggae (1978) [Unreleased Album] Prophets in the ghetto - Ras amari and the convenant roots

Prophets in the Ghetto is a deep, conscious roots reggae album forged in the fire of struggle, faith, and street-corner prophecy. Recorded in the spirit of the 1970s golden age of reggae, this album channels the raw voices of the oppressed—where Rastafari wisdom meets ghetto reality and truth is spoken without compromise.

Performed by Ras Amari & The Covenant Roots, the album delivers heavyweight drum and bass, hypnotic skank guitars, warm analog horns, and Nyabinghi-influenced rhythms that feel timeless and authentic. Each track sounds like it was pressed to vinyl and blasted from sound systems in the yards and streets of Kingston.

Lyrically, Prophets in the Ghetto tells the story of messengers born among the poor, men and women who speak Jah truth from street corners, tenement yards, and burning ghettos while Babylon refuses to listen. The songs confront poverty, police brutality, false leadership, spiritual deception, and mental enslavement—while offering hope through unity, righteousness, and divine justice.

This is roots reggae as testimony: slow-burning, militant yet spiritual, sorrowful yet uplifting. The album moves between meditative chants, warning songs, and liberation anthems, reminding listeners that prophecy doesn’t come from palaces—it rises from the ghetto.

Perfect for fans of classic roots reggae, conscious music, and vintage 1970s sounds, Prophets in the Ghetto stands as a reminder that Jah’s voice is strongest where suffering is greatest.
