Kabaka Pyramid | The Artist's Artist [Part 2] | #nolongtalk. chapter 002
Part 1 - dubbed Uptown Top Rasta - was about experiences that lead to Kabaka Pyramid's lifestyle, which in turn informs his lyrics.
This part (2) is an insight into the self-proclaimed artist's artist. This is music life, experiences since making music.
We speak about his transition from making hip hop to reggae, how friend's death inspired him, current wave reggae movement capitalising off dancehall's "lowest point", meeting Chronixx and Protoje, the "uptown" label hindering the movement's impact in Jamaica, his relationship with dancehall artist's, importance of making money and whether Rasta label holds him back.
Had to touch on social side, so there's a conversation about the uptown/downtown divide in Jamaica, uptown youths making downtown music and "getting a fight" because he's uptown.
Two, two quotes I found interesting:
"I think dancehall is at it's lowest point right now."
"I don't want this [reggae movement] to be this posh ting."
"I feel like I love music the least out of the man dem"
"Our music doesn't penetrate like dancehall."
"A lot of reggae and dancehall artist's say I'm their favourite."
"Money has never been priority for me. I've never been poor in the conventional sense."
no long talk.
