In the belief system of Rastafari the lion is used to symbolise the Lion of Judah, the emperor Haile Selassie I, the Ethiopian ruler whom Rastafarians believe to be the living God for the black race. King of the beasts, the lion is the perfect embodiment of strength and power and it's these qualities - along with a firm adherence to the ways of Rastafari - that inform a whole generation of new roots and culture artists.
Jet Star's new 'Young Lions' series is a definitive representation of the new conscious movement and works as a showcase for the artists that preach positivity.
