you're watching this week in reggae and i'm terry and i'm bringing you the latest in international radio news the best in the local happening and we do we can go but this week we have ace special show for you today combine the pyramid hit the stage with the bell well in his performance was up up up up he brought his conscious lyrics and his own special brand of reggae to seattle not only that he said down with me with reggae in seattle where he we discussed social reasoning he talked about who inspired him and what's next work about that yeah that's for you show tonight seattle always has good energy for you and you're right we're both i tell him to get ourselves and this city really has a lot of great options for you so i'm glad joined joining it now you've been here many times before so when you come in do you see the city or  seattle is a strong they love their sports team now they don't have the sonics are no longer here but they have the mariners they got the seahawks and they love the sound or so this is really a strong sports city so now tell me are we on the front regular on the river what not just that but your you know the your headlining shows you go on to europe you go into the u s tell me is there a vibe difference between the festival crowd in your head like people that come in just out to seek i'm a fan but i have seen you four times i am part of that jam rock reggae cruise we go every year even if you not perform and i think i see you on this cruise come back so you know what i'm you're  known for your conscious lyrics and when i listen to your lyrics and and i decide you know at st what happened is i feel the vibes the beat of it you know because you always bring that but then i go look up the lyrics right and then i'm like this young man is a poet i feel like the things that you are writing about or the conscious human struggle issues that bob was writing about back in the day rest in peace bob marley but so what motivates you who inspires you  things in the music so we're definitely doing that i mean your contraband really isn't all to the human struggle worldwide when you talk about with borders you're not just talking about refugees in but is talking about people that are di general people impoverished gentrification you know the faking this of now in the media age with natural beauty and just the suffocation that we feel from society with can't breathe there's more multiple meanings and symbolism there and i just really personally i appreciate that's one of the things i like about it and we're dance until it's over you know so if we dance it and we're feeling good i think that that over time is going to keep you so relevant  think i want to ask you do you think that your belief in reincarnation and karma debt and spiritual evolution do you think that humankind as a group can evolve past the human struggle definitely i think we will you know it's a summit of destiny and i'm out of time you know i think that we're moving in the right direction even though it looks really bad right nowhere in a state it is also part of the cycle you know and transitions from one physical body and loses that body you know we got to a panorama view of our whole life and you really comes down to experiences and what we learn and then those experiences are etched in our  five years ago the struggles that us going through are all it is and always was a memory that something that you learn from and i and i agree i feel what you're putting out there because i what you're really talking about is like the collective consciousness of mankind and even though things look a bit small now we do know if you look throughout history we really are better than we were a one thousand years ago and a one thousand years before that so long q i do believe that eventually we can evolve to where we are living in peace harmony and yes can we just chill out and relax i don't know why when i do i don't know why we're not doing more than that it's you know when i hear you talking they sound like you've got a teacher in sharing information we get natural life one thing everybody can benefit from do you have a new album in the works i mean i know it's been a yes just only been a year but we you know the fans are hungry you know we stephen marley of the ghetto youth camp you know about that that that they came in which a contraband album and that album is just it's really i love it i really love it so you also do a lot of collaboration i mean you collaborated with you be a person i'm just a most opportunities so you're this tour that you're on that you're starting out here in seattle you're going to be traveling all through august all the shit a lot of us actually have some shows in september as well and i'm actually after this after this tour the last show will be in croatia and then i actually fly straight to japan after that now i've never been to japan i travel a lot  i hear that but never japan

tell you i've never been there  for can people can expect me to appear on the cruise every year all the time it's like you wake up i show you know it's the end i say and that is why when i'm on the now when i'm on this cruise i try not to even ask for it i try not to ask for pictures or anything because i get it because you know you're up there and  you're giving so much of your energy and now you just really want to go to the cafe and get some you know get some food and go back to your room but you got people they get there's so much love there i know they're stopping yeah you know i'm not really you know i try to be i try to be a good person you know that's just my personality i'm not really ruled out him kind of thing so you know i try not to have to draw pundit side you know so i would tend to take a lot of pictures
