Damian Marley is carrying on the reggae tradition that his father helped start. This song off his grammy award winning album shows that reggae music still is faithful to its roots even after years of assimilating into American culture. The distinct reggae sound is obvious from the beginning of the track, but there are also elements of modernization in the track as well. As the technology has increased over the years it has affected the way that music is recorded and produced. Throughout the song you can hear the voice effects and sampling that has become increasingly popular over the last twenty years. Reggae music is changing and this song provides a good example of how the genre is adapting to the American culture and music industry.
