Kabaka Pyramid (part 2) | The Artist's Artist | chapter 002

October 06, 2015

Welcome to part 2. Part 1 - a.k.a. 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 artists' 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 at Protoje's house, 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.

not a catch up, it's no long talk.
