Bob Marley. Everyone knows who he is. Everyone loves his music. He was, is, and will forever be respected and idolized worldwide; both for his music but also for his messages and ideologies. So it seemed an obvious choice that the next to be featured in the J.Period/K'naan Messengers project would focus on the Jamaican legend. This tape, much like the earlier Kuti-inspired Messengers mixtape, features a mixture in which the artist's catalogue is sampled to serve as the backdrop for K'naan's rhymes (as well as those of the very forgettable guests found on this edition) and uses interludes to give a Bob Marley history lesson and touch on how he influences are still very much felt to this day. And once again it serves K'naan's flow, style, and themes perfectly. Another excellent release from J.Period and K'naan.
