LargeUp Video: Damian Marley "Set Up Shop"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.Damian_Marley-Set-Up_Shop_vid_still2

Damian Marley breaks with the one of the cardinal tropes of traditional reggae music--denouncing the evils of capitalism--to buss this surprisingly inspiring anthem for elbow grease and entrepeneurialism. (Or higgling, as its known in JA). As LargeUp put it:

“Set Up Shop” proves that Marley is as rebellious and provocative as he’s always been. Deejaying at a desk in a field for most of the video, Marley’s lyrics and images seem to encourage viewers/listeners to keep their hustle on, no matter what that hustle is.
