Jah ( /ˈdʒɑː/; Hebrew: יהּ = Yah) is the shortened form of the divine name YHWH (also spelled Jehovah or Yahweh), an anglicized version of the Tetragrammaton (YHWH, Latin JHVH). The name is most commonly associated with the Rastafari movement or within the word hallelujah, although Christian groups may use the name to varying degrees. For example, Jehovah's Witnesses use a form of the name in over 400 languages. The name is used in some English Bible translations which reconstruct the Tetragrammaton; other versions sometimes use the academic Hebrew reconstruction "Yah". Some languages use the letter "I" instead of "Y" or "J": This should not be confused with the phonetically, theologically, and historically unrelated Egyptian god Iah. Other languages use CH (Choctaw), S (Tongan), and Z (Chin).
Jah is often used as a shortened form of the reconstructed Tetragrammaton. The Tetragrammaton is often represented (especially in older English versions of the Bible) by the word "LORD"; and the expression "Hallelujah" by the phrase "Praise ye the LORD" (Psalm 104:35 KJV and footnote). Thus, partially translated and partially transliterated[clarification needed], the term could be rendered "Praise Jah."
Jah Cure, or Iyah Cure (born Siccature Alcock on 11 October 1978 in Hanover, Jamaica) is a Jamaican reggae musician, who was raised in Kingston. He was given the name Jah Cure by Capleton whom he met while growing up in Kingston.[citation needed]
His first big break came in March 1997 when he released the single "King in this Jungle" which was a duet with Sizzla. The single was produced by Beres Hammond who went on to become his mentor. He then released a steady stream of singles that won him critical and popular acclaim.Beres Hammond eventually took Cure under his tutelage and began mentoring him and producing his music in the studio. In 1998, Cure performed on a European tour and visited several Caribbean Islands with Beres Hammond and the Harmony House Family.
In November 1998, while driving around Montego Bay, Cure was pulled over by the police and arrested on charges of gun possession, robbery and rape. He was prosecuted before the Gun Court in April 1999, found guilty and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Cure was transferred from the St. Catherine Adult Correctional Centre to the Tower Street Adult Correctional Centre, which had a digital recording studio the inmates could use. It was there that Cure released three albums and a number of singles, some of which have topped the Jamaican chart. His first album Free Jah's Cure The Album the Truth was released in 2000, it was followed by Ghetto Life in 2003 and Freedom Blues in 2005. More recently Cure has released the songs "Love Is", "Longing For" and "True Reflections", showing his unique voice and lyrical ability.
Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley, OM (6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician. He was the rhythm guitarist and lead singer for the ska, rocksteady and reggae band Bob Marley & The Wailers (1963–1981). Marley remains the most widely known and revered performer of reggae music, and is credited with helping spread both Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement to a worldwide audience.
Marley's music was heavily influenced by the social issues of his homeland, and he is considered to have given voice to the specific political and cultural nexus of Jamaica. His best-known hits include "I Shot the Sheriff", "No Woman, No Cry", "Could You Be Loved", "Stir It Up", "Get Up Stand Up", "Jamming", "Redemption Song", "One Love" and, "Three Little Birds", as well as the posthumous releases "Buffalo Soldier" and "Iron Lion Zion". The compilation album Legend (1984), released three years after his death, is reggae's best-selling album, going ten times Platinum which is also known as one Diamond in the U.S., and selling 25 million copies worldwide.

Dominic Toretto: You've got the best crew in the world standing right in front of you, give them a reason to stay.
Owen Shaw: There she goes, leaving you, again. She's a bloody fickle, that one.::Dominic Toretto: You want bloody? We can do bloody.::Owen Shaw: You've come quite a long way. Young L.A. kid, starts off stealing DVD players, trades up, ends up heisting over $100 million in Rio.::Dominic Toretto: Not bad, huh?::Owen Shaw: It's a good story. Almost inspiring. You see, what I couldn't fathom is why he isn't laying on a beach somewhere with that cute little Brazilian number. Instead, he's here working with a two-bit government hack like Hobbs. And then I realized, he has a weak spot.::Dominic Toretto: We all got a weak spot.::Owen Shaw: You know, when I was young, my brother always said, "Every man has to have a code." Mine: Precision. Use what you have, switch them out when you need to until you get the job done. It's efficient. But you? You're loyal to a fault. Your code is about family. It makes you predictable. And in our line of work, predictable means vulnerable. And that means I can reach out and break you whenever I want.::Dominic Toretto: At least when I go, I'll know what it's for.::Owen Shaw: Well, at least you have a code. Most men don't. So, I'll give you a chance: Take your crew and walk away. That's the only way you're going to keep your family safe.::Dominic Toretto: Your brother never told you never to threaten a man's family? That's a stupid thing to do. But I'll make it simple for you: I walk away when she walks away.::Owen Shaw: Well then, it appears this inspiring tale has come to an end.::[a laser dot appears on Toretto as Adolfson points a sniper rifle at him in the distance]::Dominic Toretto: If that's the way it has to go.::[a laser dot appears on Shaw]::Owen Shaw: [laughing] Let me guess: Hobbs?::Hobbs: [in the distance targeting Shaw] Come on, you son of a bitch.::Dominic Toretto: Two-bit government hack.::Owen Shaw: [laughs, then leaves] See you around, Toretto.::Dominic Toretto: You can bet on it.
Brian O'Conner: Maybe the Letty we once knew is gone.::Dominic Toretto: You don't turn your back on family, even when they do.
Letty Ortiz: You got some serious balls man.::Dominic Toretto: I've been told.::Letty Ortiz: You know you're lucky I missed my shot.::Dominic Toretto: I think you hit your mark.::Letty Ortiz: Really... what is it with you? What, have you got a death wish or something?::Dominic Toretto: If that's what it takes. I just wanna race.::Letty Ortiz: Might lose your car.::Dominic Toretto: Let's do it.::Letty Ortiz: Your funeral.::Dominic Toretto: Ride or die, remember?
Brian O'Conner: Letty is dead Dom.::Dominic Toretto: I need to know for sure.::Brian O'Conner: Then I'm going with you.
Tej Parker: You've gone from Shaggy to Scooby. This is something we don't doooo.
