“I feel like music is healing. You know, and with God the most important thing is having high vibration. People need to be uplifted these days. I know I do. And creating this music is definitely uplifting. So I just feel like Yahweh brings existence with whatever exists. So with that creation of the music, it’s just definitely channeling the Supreme Being.”

The Line of Best Fit7/10[10]

Editors at AllMusic rated the album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Thom Jurek writing that the music combines diverse genres, such as funk and EDM, making a "set [that] offers slippery, hypnotic grooves in a humid mix perfect for late-night gatherings or cruising the boulevard".[1] Bandcamp Daily published a feature on the album where Blake Gillespie called the music "chameleonic jazz" and drew connections with artists such as "the Mizell Brothers’ work with Donald Byrd, Johnny Hammond, and Bobbi Humphrey.[11] Ryan Dillon of Glide Magazine, characterized the work as "an avalanche of juxtaposing melodies cascade down neck-breaking drums, one element bleeding into the next for seamless hip-hop-flavored jazz" and "a clinic on tone".[2] Writing for The Line of Best Fit, Janne Oinonen rated this album a 7 out of 10, stating that "the overall impression of the effortlessly laidback YHWH is Love is a more groove-orientated and horizontally organic take on Sound Ancestors, Madlib’s 2021 solo album" and "a winningly diverse and consistently charming offering" release that is "probably too laidback to be truly essential and occasionally prone to idling in wait for the next idea to strike, but certainly worthy of closer inspection".[10] A review of the best albums of the year by Craig Jenkins of Vulture included YHWH Is Love, which he called "a genre-hopping mind-meld uniting a pair of storied indie-rap figureheads" that is "brimming with playful, mournful, wily, and beguiling compositions".[3]

Economic history of Ethiopia

Development of GDP per capita The Economy of Ethiopia remained very traditional until the later 20th century, although Ethiopia—unlike most sub-Saharan countries—had maintained trade and contacts with the outside world for centuries. Since ancient times, Ethiopian traders exchanged gold, ivory, musk, and wild animal skins for salt and luxury goods, such as silk and velvet.[1] By the late nineteenth century, coffee had become one of Ethiopia's more important cash crops.[1] ...
