kingston

The big city, nearly opposite of the countryside we’ve been driving through for 3 weeks. 110 murders in the month of January alone, most of them occurring in the bad parts of this city. All the girls, all the gangsters, all the musicians, artists, politicians, businessmen. All here.

Was fortunate enough to link up with a friend of a friend, Treasure, a studio engineer out here and build.



Went out to his studio, ran into a slew of dancehall artists inside and outside the studio, and later that evening, I had the laptop out, pro-tools open, and a microphone hooked up to the computer and MPC, while Treasure dropped freestyles over some beats we put together.



Met, and briefly spoke with the owners of One Love record store. Spoke with these two Italian dudes Marco and Lampa (with locks), about reggae music, how they set up this distribution thing, and ended up having like an hour long about religion, politics, life, etc. cool dudes. Love this place.
