Urban Mystic Covers ‘Behind These Prison Walls’ In Tribute To Jah Cure

American neo-soul artist Urban Mystic has released a cover of former stablemate Jah Cure’s True Reflections, popularly known as Behind These Prison Walls, in the wake of the Dancehall/Reggae singer’s incarceration in the Netherlands for attempted manslaughter.

“The song is really a tribute to my former stablemate Jah Cure. Firstly, the song is a great song and I wanted to bring an R&B flavour to it for a long time but when my former stable mate Jah Cure got into trouble in the Netherlands, it was the right time to release the song to give him some support,” the singer, whose real name is Brandon Williams, said.

The song was released via SoBe Entertainment and available via all digital download platforms.

“The reaction has been very positive and getting a buzz in several markets, especially Europe and Africa, so far,” Urban Mystic said.

True Reflections was a major single for Jah Cure, topping several ethnic reggae charts when it was released in 2006. It was recorded while he was incarcerated in Jamaica (for raping and robbing a woman at gunpoint), as part of a “Rehabilitation Through Music” program in the prison.

Last week, Jah Cure was sentenced to six years in prison in the Netherlands, after he stabbed event promoter Nicardo ‘Papa’ Blake on October 1 at Dam Square, in the city center of Amsterdam, where he was booked for a performance.

Urban Mystic is best known for his hit singles, Where Were You which hit the Billboard R&B charts and I Refuse which reached No. 36 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

The Florida-based singer has released five albums.
