[Music Video] Skrillex & Damian Marley – Make It Bun Dem
I actually really like this and to be honest, while I respect the Skrillex movement and he puts on a helluva live show, that’s with me not being a huge fan of his recorded music or even Damian Marley‘s acclaimed album with Nas. Makes sense that this works though. At the end of the day, dubstep’s roots (no pun intended) are in dub reggae and so much reggae music is essentially electronic music anyway that the synergies and the room to successfully collaborate between the two worlds are obvious.
