Ababa Reid, the son of renowned reggae artiste Junior Reid has been familiar with music from an early age looking up to not only his father but other great artistes such as Hugh Mundel and Ini Kamoze. Yung JR gained recognition following the release of his first official single “Raggamuffin”. By the time his second single “General” was released Yung JR seemed to have gained a rather large fan base both locally and internationally.

Produced by himself and brother Adoney Reid, the EPK is said to include productions from Adoney himself, Zinc Fence Records, Digital B Records, Flash Hit Records and Bassick Records.
When asked about his journey and the inspiration behind his “Start the Movement” EPK, Yung JR had this to say, “It’s a joyful yet humble feeling. The inspiration really came from my I and my brother regular reasoning where we saw the need to create a musical project and incorporate a practical aspect to it. We believe music should not just stop at recording and performing but really getting out there to give a helping hand where needed and participating in events that’s for the good of mankind.”

Skrillex feat. Damian Marley & Cham - Get Up, Stand Up

In a day when musicians are limited by a multitude of categorizations, Damian Marley reminds us that music isn’t really as confined to genres as we perceive. As is evident by his father’s 1977 album with The Wailers, ‘Exodus’ affirms that reggae music had elements of electronica decades before the term became ubiquitous. Similarly, both dubstep and dub before it have reggae influences showing us that one generation’s artists inevitably feeds into another generation’s music. Carrying on his family’s legacy, Damian Marley performs a cover of his father’s 1973 protest song with Peter Tosh and The Wailers, “Get Up, Stand Up.”
