Jacob Hemphill of SOJA Part 1 "When I was a kid I grew up in Africa"

Jacob Hemphill, lead vocalist of SOJA, chats with Rob Kenner about how he and his friends fell in love with reggae and decided to start what's become one of the biggest reggae bands in the world. "When I was a kid I thought black people are happier than white people," he says. Eventually he came to a larger realization: "Life is not about accumulating crap." Instead of doing "the reggae move" ("girl song, weed song, etc") he decided to "do the Bob Marley" and try to change the world. "If I squander this opportunity," he says, "that'll be the biggest mistake of my life."
