<p>“It feels amazing, a bit surreal but it’s been a positive experience overall,” Tessellated said.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>“I think on all fronts Jamaican music is pushing forward in a new wave right now. People are starting to look at Jamaican music as a serious force on the level of any other rather than a novelty. I think this is just one more of those things that is going to help push the overall movement even further.”</p>
