Album Notes

Nagaraj (Tajh Abdulsamad) is a member of universoul group "The Suns". Earlier in their career they were known as Motown recording artist "The Boys", a child group of four African American brothers who enchanted the world with their youthful charm, singing and dancing abilities, and back flips (acrobatics). They enjoyed multi-platinum success, world wide recognition, and honors. The Boys recorded three albums with Motown and then suddenly vanished. Over the years their fans wondered what happened to them. Unknown to many, around 1993 The Boys decided to retreat from the lime light and work behind the scenes as writers and producers. After experiencing fame, fortune, and material success at a young age they began to wonder if there was anything more to life than chasing girls, money, and surface pleasures. As a result of their hearts yearning, they crossed paths with guides and teachers that revealed to them the path of self realization, and mystic enlightenment. The further they traveled upon the path of spirit, the further the distance became between them and their obligations with the music industry. After twelve years of concentrated study and practice within the cocoon of self transformation they emerged as "The Suns" (Suns of Light) with a catalog consisting of eleven "Suns" albums. Their new name refers to the radiant light they perceived within through meditation, which is the source of all life, love, and wisdom. This is Nagaraj's first solo effort. He wrote, arranged, and produced all twenty tracks on the album. Tajh (Nagaraj) has a universal sound incorporating elements of soul, hip-hop, roots reggae, blended with sweet melodies, and socially conscious, energetic hip-hop rhymes. Ancient Wayz takes you on a journey highlighting ancestral remembrance, love and loss, and social justice. Nagaraj pours his heart into this album and gives the listener a truly exciting and diverse musical experience. 1 Love!!!
