The Samory I Session 2.0

I caught up with Samory I the morning after his Album Release party for "Strength." 7 Years after our first interview and months before the release of Black Gold, a lot has changed in Samory's life.

I would say Samory I has evolved from a reggae singer to an artist and that his new Album should be a strong contender for next year's Grammys. Listen...
