For Rastafarians, July 23 is a hallowed day. It is the birthdate of Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I, the movement’s spiritual head.

Fittingly, roots artiste Autarchii chose this day to launch his (free) OVERSTAND app. It gives a comprehensive look at the faith which originated in West Kingston during the 1930s.

Autarchii, who is based in the United States, told Observer Online that while he wants to educate all ages and nationalities with the platform, his eyes are focused on a particular bloc.
