<p><strong>PULLOUT QUOTE: PEOPLE
ARE STARTING TO LOOK AT JAMAICAN MUSIC AS A SERIOUS FORCE — Tessellated</strong></p>

<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,” he says.</p>
