00:00Yes, my name is Little Roy. This name was given to me in the year 1967 by the great Prince
00:06Buster.
00:07Now I have a new album. It's called Battle for Seattle.
00:10This is 10 songs from the late, great Nirvana, Kurt Cobain.
00:18It will be released on the 5th of September by the label Ark Recordings.
00:25This album, I know it's great, and you should have it in your collection.
00:32At age 13, my family moved to Washington Gardens, where I grew up amongst many greats, Bob and Marcia, Lee
00:42Scratch Perry, Prince Buster, Maxi Romia, Niner Observer, and many more.
00:50The Wailers, so I had a great experience of many great artists from my youth.
01:08This is to the Nirvana fans. I know you have great love and respect for Kurt.
01:13Just the way we have re-recorded his songs.
01:17With enough respect, enough love.
01:19And we do it so that you can enjoy it and once again be dancing to Kurt's songs.
01:33Yes, we choose some of the most well-known reggae musicians in London.
01:40Horseman, Bubblers, Mafia from Mafia and Fluxy, Stephen Wright, Marley.
01:49And we were lucky enough, Junior Marvin was passing through.
01:55This is Junior Marvin from the Wailers.
01:57So, we have got great musicians on this album.
02:06In all my years of writing, and listening to other songs, going to Kurt's songs is like, they are so
02:18different.
02:19You know, they are so realistic when you get deep into them.
02:27And to know that, well, then, I can really put myself in the place of those lyrics.
02:36But we're not thinking to write such great things.
02:40It's amazing.
02:48I love all the songs on the album.
02:52But my special is House Shaped Box.
02:56Because when I do perform it, I see the reaction of the crowd.
03:00It's amazing.
03:06If you should ask me the question, will this Nirvana album introduce reggae fans to its works, I would say
03:17yes.
03:18Because the songs are so impulsive, they are so reggae-matic, you know.
03:23You wouldn't believe they are rock songs being transformed to reggae.
03:27And I know the reggae fans are going to love it.
03:34I performed these songs at the Reading and Leeds Festival.
03:40And it was electrifying.
03:42It was so great to see how the crowd went along with it.
03:46And I totally enjoyed it with them.
03:51Yes, we plan to take this album all around the world, at all the big festivals.
04:00So, see you next summer.
04:03And enjoy it with us.
