I would never say that being Bob Marley's son has been a pressure. It has been a door opener.

Music is not like sports, where you can go and do a hundred reps in a gym and come out and be all buffed up.

My father has been a voice of encouragement in times of desperation for so many people. But he died when I was so young that, for me, his music has been a way for me to get to know him better.

Nas is someone who can communicate with the streets and can still keep it real in terms of being human, he doesn't try to be this super perfect person, but has respect for his history and for his ancestors and for spirituality. So Nas always displayed that in his music, while at the same time keeping it hard and something that you can relate to.

I love hip-hop music, ... It's rebel music is how I like to speak about it. Hip-hop and reggae come from the same community as far as class...they both come from the bottom of society.

Every one of my father's songs is a lesson.

It's not like I go into the studio and say I'm going to try to make music to prove to somebody that I can make music.
