“Combining I think is just who we are because we come from that. Our roots lead back to Africa, all of us, and Rastafari music and culture, Hailing His Majesty, everything is connected that way. It’s like left foot and right foot. So to represent this, to me, through music is just representing the culture or myself in the best way possible, because it is who we are. The sound is a representation of our being. So when you hear the sound you think of I&I, even if it’s bob marley it has a certain imagery, a certain lifestyle. Some people might think it’s just smoking weed but it has much more to it than that. So the sound is like a signal then, an identification of the people.”
