Considering Jamaican immigrants (and their soundsystem culture) were the driving force behind the birth of hip-hop, and that rap in turn inspired reggae’s evolution into dancehall, one would think the two genres would mix more often.
Maybe they will in the wake of Nasand Damian “Jr Gong” Marley’s upcoming collaboration ‘Distant Relatives,’ at least if their searing surprise appearance at the Fader Fort during SXSW is anything to go on.
Both are icons in their respective fields and after honing their act during last summer’s Rock the Bells tour and subsequent studio sessions, the duo are clearly a well-oiled machine with stage presence to spare.
