Damian Marley Says Reggae & Hip-Hop From Same Tree

Evelyn McDonnell from the Miami Herald spoke with Damian Marley and Mr. Cheeks ahead of the all-star ninth annual Bob Marley Caribbean Festival Saturday. Marley said, “I feel that hip-hop and reggae are fruits of the same tree. Both are music that come from the streets. Hip-hop evolved out of reggae; it’s the music of today’s generation. I wouldn’t say that we are the bridge, I would say the music is the bridge itself.”
