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 grew up in uptown Jamaica; I went to a rich school. I was raised by my mother and my stepfather; they made sure education came before anything. I had a good childhood, grew up spending time with my bigger brothers and sisters. My people are good people. I was exposed to a lot of different kinds of people and culture.

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

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.

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

Poverty breeds a lot of things. When people are desperate and trying to survive, they do drastic things.

The UK crowds always have a lot of energy, and I've done some milestone shows there that I'm very proud of.
