I'm a fan of hip hop music, so I always used a hip hop element in my music anyway.

In Jamaica, them always have throwback riddims, recycled old beats, and the hardcore reggae scene is always present. You have faster stuff like the more commercialized stuff, but you always have that segment of music that is always from the core, from the original root of it. This year, you have seen a lot of it explode on the international scene. It's great. People are looking for something different. Maybe there was too much of one thing, and now they're looking for something fresh.

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.

Everything I've experienced, things that my friends have experienced and we talk about, things that are on the news - all aspects of life are in my message.

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

Everyone is related to Africa; everyone comes from Africa. We are all distant relatives.
