“Well, I did some work with him for some stuff that he’s working on. I’m not really sure of the details of his project in that sense, but we worked on some music together. I’ve been a fan of his music since he came out. We’ve never done any musical work together. So that was a joy to finally work together musically.”
The two have have a long standing business relationship together, as Marley is currently a co-owner in Jay Z’s streaming service Tidal.
The rapper visited the island last week, traveling to various communities throughout the Kingston area, and dropping by the legendary Tuff Gong studio.
