The number of songs being released daily by the new generation of Liberian musicians seems to pose a challenge to the older artists in the game. But instead of igniting a generational feud, it has sparked a paradox that music lovers can’t get enough of. This collaborative energy between both generations is creating a symbiotic movement that may stretch the Liberian sound beyond borders.
This era isn’t about who’s new or who’s old — it’s a test of humility from both sides. It’s about A-list musicians who have done it all, yet are willing to uplift and support the next generation of stars. For the new wave, it reflects their respect and maturity — an understanding that those who came before them are not rivals, but guides. The music world can be dark and brutal for those who think they can go it alone or let ego suffocate a budding career.
J Slught, dubbed the “King of the Jungle,” teams up with rising star Yungshing on a soon-to-be-released remix of Yungshing’s recent Afro-fusion classic, “Essence of Love.” The collaboration is already generating buzz. With electrifying dancehall drum lines produced by the red-hot MadnessBeatz, the remix promises to be a club banger. But beyond the beat, the track delivers a soulful message — a signature element in J Slught’s music.
Perhaps that’s what drew J Slught to the song in the first place. Without hesitation or hierarchy, he joins Yungshing on this remix, showing no sign of treating him as anything less than a peer. In a viral social media video, J Slught teased the remix with a snippet while sitting in his car. The joy on his face said it all — he might just be one of Yungshing’s biggest fans.
After reading the lyrics to the original version, it’s easy to see why J Slught wanted to be part of the song. The message resonates so deeply, it’s as if it’s something he wishes he had written himself.
Song:
Run away babe, My fine lay run away babe….
Run away babe, My fine lay run away babe….

Run away babe, My fine lay…My fine lay…..aaay aaay aaay ….
Liberian Chinese
I thought this loving was street fries
But so many things Fall apart
There are lot of secrets they been hiding
But no more gen Z love gonna wyne me ..
If da hide and seek they can’t find me.
But Now I feel so dumb and lonely.
My heart na scatta just like glass;
ley pieces ay done splash from the nakay way you play me run ..
My girl you pencil from the way you draw my soul..
Holy ma ca uhm hmm monameto ..
Am that ant oo bringing down the elephant ooo.
40 days and nights on your Mount Kilimanjaro….
What’s the essence of love if you na giving me every Feelings in returnnn..
What’s the essence of love if you na giving me every Feelings in returnn..
Babe if you leave, you gon wipe away my fear..
You brought me comfort and peace
although trauma was there…
Water better than breeze; I used you
quench my chest.
lot of harmonies for my favorite lil girl
Hhmm
Cha cha Milo
With ah Bam shot my love
Slide Slide mi girl…
Loka mi heart how ay beating for you.
Cha cha Milo..
with ah Bam shot my love ..
Slide Slide mi girl…
Loka mi heart how ay beating for you..
You turned a Church Boy to a pornstar
Go down rotate for the gangster hhm.
Boom boom for love…
Make it clap; celebration…
Yeh hhhmm ohh yehh…
I was so harsh to touch your body..
On your Buddy experiment science..
Evaporate like i drink a Poison..
O I cry stabilized my sound.
Babe if you leave you gon wipe away my fears
Water better than breeze..
I used you quench my chest
You brought me comfort and peace
although trauma was there
lot of harmonies for my favorite lil girl
Ayyy….
Run away babe, My fine lay run away babe….
Run away babe, My fine lay run away babe….
Runway babe…..
My fine ly my fine ly hahee
A J Slught verse on this hot banger would surely make Yungshing’s ‘Essence of love’ an anthem.
