Protoje Essentials

Protoje Essentials

The son of two singers, Protoje makes music that draws from the deep well of reggae tradition, invigorating the genre with bright ‘10s production and tight flows influenced by hip-hop. On "Who Knows", he works with like-minded singer Chronixx to create a "Jamrock"-esque anthem that pairs laidback lyrics with unrelenting low end. "Rasta Love” has him teaming up with Ky-Mani Marley for a slow, slinky ballad—almost R&B—about a girl who goes Garveyite after meeting a new man. "This Is Not a Marijuana Song", meanwhile, shows Protoje's more playful side, with the singer participating in a reggae tradition while also sending it up.
