J. Period und K’Naan zollen Bob Marley, Fela Kuti und Bob Marley mit der kostenlosen digi EP „The Messengers“ Tribut, denn
some artists are defined by their environment. Some redefine their environment. Still others push the boundaries of convention so fully that their influence is felt around the globe, and across generations. Their music compels us not only to dance but to think, not only to celebrate but to strive, not only to listen but to truly hear. Fela Kuti, Nigeria“™s eminent musical activist; Bob Marley, Jamaica“™s emissary of struggle and unity; and Bob Dylan, America“™s reluctant Civil Rights song leader, are three such artists.
These are „The Messengers.“
Tracklist:
1. „Let’s Start“ (Fela Kuti Tribute)
2. „Relationship’s Lay“ (Bob Dylan Tribute)
3. „Belly Full“ feat. Kardinall Offishall, General Steele, and Bajah (Bob Marley Tribute)
Die EP ist der 1. von insgesamt 5 Teilen, in denen das gesamte Remix-Projekt in den nächsten Wochen veröffentlicht werden soll.
