Bob Marley Day: Talking Bob With DJ S-Press
Every February 6, the Ultimate Productions crew (DJs S-Press, Zee and O.P, and MC NorrisMan) honor Bob Marley’s legacy. DJ S-Press talked us through what the great man’s music means to him and the rest of the team as they got ready for this year’s party.
The Bob Marley song that best describes me is …
“Soul Rebel” reflects the feeling of being an outsider, first as a refugee when I left Ethiopia in 1982, then in the years since, first living in the United States and then China.
The Bob Marley song that best describes life in Beijing is ...
“Concrete Jungle” describes life in any big city. Masses of people all striving to get ahead by means fair or foul.
The Bob Marley song that most inspires us is ...
“Redemption Song.” It’s a song about the horrors of slavery, as well as a call for self-renewal. The idea of redemption is highly inspiring.
