Bob Marley was my biggest and earliest inspiration musically. His music is connected to life , philosophy, mysticism and the struggle to overcome challenge. For me, that's what makes his music so potent.

Sounds Like
driving 20 miles an hour in a 1991 Mazda 626 in the carpool lane and somehow passing every car in sight. sipping seltzer water for breakfast at Denny's and skating out on the bill but leaving a crisp $100 in the waitress' pocket. driving through Times Square during rush hour to get to that special bodega uptown that sells the 25 cent doritos. setting your alarm for 6:00 am for no reason. flying to paris for chinese food. flying to china for french fries. walking in the club with some fake designer glasses on with the plastic elvis wig and a tony montana t-shirt on and ordering an "orange and cranberry with lite ice" Holler at your bizzle and TELL ME WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE. I MADE IT! YOU DON'T ASK A FOX HOW HIS FOX COAT FEELS DO YOU?
