Chip Off The Old Block: Meet The New Kids Of Dancehall x Reggae (Pt. 2)


First they started out as the youth of the Dancehall/Reggae culture, now they’re parents with growing kids. It isn’t unusual for the child of an Entertainer to follow in their parent’s footsteps one way or the other as at times they bring a modern take on their parent’s creations, or create their own lane. Some of the most famous off springs include Stephen, Ziggy, and Damian “Junior Gong” Marley (Sons of Bob Marley), Chino and Di Genius (Sons of Freddie McGregor), Junior Tucker (Son of Jimmy Tucker), Morgan Heritage (Children of Denroy Morgan), Tarrus Riley (Son of Jimmy Riley), Queen Ifrica (Daughter of Derrick Morgan), Protoje (Son of Lorna Bennett), Chronixx (Son of Chronicle) and many more. In part 2 of a few part series, I feature more of the new set of kids on the scene whose parents have covered much ground in their respective careers.

NEW VIDEO: @Protoje – Answer To Your Name


PRoto

The single that prepped many for the release of “Ancient Future” finally got the visual treatment. “Answer To Your Name“, which was directed by Charlie Sarsfield and Jordan Bond, shows “Diggy” in the UK pursuing a young lady whom he met previously but has constantly ignored him since his arrival in Brixton. Lots of fashion picks in this video along with the infectious Ska influenced single. Girl, why won’t you answer to your name? “Ancient Future” is now available on iTunes and all major online music retailers. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

NEW MUSIC: @Protoje – Criminal


ProtojeCrim

Dropping another selection off his “Ancient Future” album today is Reggae artist, Protoje. Titled “Criminal” and produced by Winta James, Diggy drops some conscious lyrics with a little history lesson. A single that makes you go back to the history books to learn about Peter Tosh, Free I, Leonard Howell, Dutty Boukman, and more. Amazing comic book styled cover art by 1ndividual out of Trinidad. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
