The 14 track album Own This Life was recorded and produced by Mista Savona* (Australia), Jah Warrior* (England) and
Sabbo & Kuti* (Israel). It consists of Middle Eastern, Hip Hop, Reggae and Dancehall tracks.

The first song on the album, (1) Crazy For Righteousness, is an âuplifting party songâ or one for the dance floor, given the exotic vibes on the bouncy Hip Hop Beat. (2) Pull Up takes a lyrical approach on a Middle Eastern Dancehall beat.
(3) Whatâs The Matter, a straight forward one-drop backing reggae tune.
(4) Mist In The Jungle, a dancehall tune on a Middle eastern riddim.
(5) Livin Like That a combination tune featuring top Jamaican chanter Jah Mason, voiced on a Middle Eastern dancehall riddim.
(6) No Pegan is a modern roots track on a straight one-drop.

The title track: (7) Own This Life is a reggae tune in which Raz Bin Sam calls for people to stay strong and positive, saying that life is a miracle and a blessing so people should appreciate and make the most of it. âMorning prayer makes me feel the bestâ referring to Jewish rituals that he practices and are the tools he uses to keep himself on the right track. With a groovy riddim and these lyrics combined, a positive title track was created.

(8) No Place In Our Hearts is an up beat reggae tune on Jah Warrior.âs legendary âCreation riddimâ.
(9) Clean N Pure For Sure is a dancehall, almost techno riddim with a rough vocal approach, supporting the merits of keeping oneself clean, both literally and spiritually. (10) Life Is A Gift, the hit combination single featuring Ray Darwin.
(11) Gevald is a very laid back tune on a one drop riddim. The same vibe carries over (12) Something To Remember.
(13) Sweet N Vicious is an uplifting straight forward Hip Hop tune.
And the closer is (14) Soul To Sound, an ode to the music itself.
