Green

Green is the color between blue and yellow on the spectrum of visible light. It is evoked by light with a predominant wavelength of roughly 495–570 nm. In the subtractive color system, used in painting and color printing, it is created by a combination of yellow and blue, or yellow and cyan; in the RGB color model, used on television and computer screens, it is one of the additive primary colors, along with red and blue, which are mixed in different combinations to create all other colors.

The modern English word green comes from the Middle English and Anglo-Saxon word grene, from the same Germanic root as the words "grass" and "grow". It is the color of living grass and leaves and as a result is the color most associated with springtime, growth and nature. By far the largest contributor to green in nature is chlorophyll, the chemical by which plants photosynthesize and convert sunlight into chemical energy. Many creatures have adapted to their green environments by taking on a green hue themselves as camouflage. Several minerals have a green color, including the emerald, which is colored green by its chromium content.

His next album Backyard Boogie reached #1 on the reggae charts for 2011, 2012, and 2013, and in July 2013 his Live Up! (EP) reached #18 on the Top Heatseekers chart.

He tours frequently, and has shared stages with artists such as Damian Marley, Ziggy Marley, SOJA, The Green, Rebelution, and his regular touring mates The Hot Rain Band. His style predominantly combines island music and Jamaican reggae, but also incorporates rock and R&B.

Early life

, Afemata was the youngest of eight other siblings; seven brothers and a sister. He got the nickname "Boog" from his brother Kosh, in reference to his inability while young to sit still. Stated J Boog, “I always wanted to go somewhere and do something." He and his siblings were raised by their parents in a household that drew on their Pacific Islander roots. According to J Boog, "I pretty much grew up real traditional with my family and that gave us a strong bond with our culture, we're very family oriented. My family was very strict on everything, making sure we did not mess up in life. But growing up in Compton didn't really make it easy for us anyway from the start, so my parents had to do double work on us."

Come In

Come In is the fourth studio album by Children 18:3. Tooth & Nail Records released the album on April 21, 2015. This album was funded via a Kickstarter project.

Critical reception

Awarding the album four and a half stars at HM Magazine, Ben Rickaby stated, "Come In is an inspiringly appropriate sendoff". In five four star reviews by Jesus Freak Hideout, Roger Gelwicks wrote, "Come In is a more than fitting finale for this exceptional trio"; Nathaniel Schexnayder wrote, "The one sure thing is this: the trio brings one last, strong punk-inspired rock project into an underserved genre in Christian music", and Scott Fryberger wrote, "The crowd-funded Come In is a strong effort, and it's everything you'd expect from the band: a lot of energy and passion, with some anti-formulaic approaches to punk rock." Kevin Davis described it in a four and a half star review from New Release Tuesday, as a "most meaningful" album because the music has "emotive vocals and harmonies layered over one catchy and meaningful song after another" where "Children 18:3 saved their best for last."
