"Rescue Me": Sone G on His Journey, Sound, and Faith | Island Son Insight In this episode of Island Son Insight on Affinity Xtra, DJ Naadlox sits down with the one and only Sone G for an exclusive look into the man behind the music. Sone G shares his fascinating journey growing up in the heart of sound system culture in Clarendon, Jamaica, and how he eventually merged his love for Reggae and Dancehall with his devotion to Christ. He opens up about the "immature" sounds of his early career and the year-long hiatus he took to deliberately hone his signature vocal range. In this interview, we dive into: * The Manchester United Fan: Sone G reveals his lifelong passion for football and his early days playing for his high school team in Jamaica. * The Creative Process: Why Sone G doesn't "write" his songs in the traditional sense, but instead uses a unique freestyle method in his own studio. * "Rescue Me" Global Success: The moving story of how a difficult day with his son led to the completion of his massive hit, which has dominated charts from Canada to Israel. * The Mission: Addressing the prejudices against "Reggae Gospel" and why Sone G leads with empathy for those who don't understand his style.
