“Featuring guest musicians and produced respectively by the very gifted Marc Lawrence and Brett Smith (Walkup Records founders), this album [Bigga Haitian - Sak Pasé] is simply superb, covering different reggae genres and fusions during its traditional style running time of under 40 minutes, and covering them in fine style. There’s no filler here.”

“...recorded in New York, with Brett Smith and Marc Lawrence featuring prominently in the mixing, mastering, engineering and production credits and also listed as writers of the music for two of the tracks. The music here is eclectic and committed... there is history and depth in these songs.”

“Dres and Jarobi recorded the first song together, “Keep Keepin’ On.” Jarobi played it for Q-Tip, who replied “Yo! You guys should be a group!” They went back into the studio and recorded “P.T.I.” with the production team of DJ Bazooka Joe and Marc Lawrence. This became their first single, released in late 2011, and evitaN (Native spelled backward) was born. Less than a year later, they had 26 songs recorded and 15 of those became the Speed of Life album.”

“...I was not only able to explore why Marc takes on so many different sorts of projects, but how he is able to get them all done. There was a lot to learn from this interview...”
