We’re back with your morning-after-the-Super-Bowl edition of Mixtape Mondays on deck. We know Beyonce’s dancehall-infused halftime performance last night has you in a Caribbean frame of mind, so we’re covering all of the bases with roots, rap, dancehall and electro-bashment business. Your Monday soundtrack should be looking a whole lot better right now. And look for our new LargeUp mix series launching this Friday with a mix from Jillionaire. Boom.

Words by Emily Shapiro
The Marley family has always kept busy in a variety of ventures including fashion and non-profit work. Now, they are combining the two to do some more good for children in the US and abroad. Their foundation 1Love has collaborated with Made for Good, an online store that sells socially conscious clothing lines, and Save the Children to create a line of t-shirts. Profits from the sales of the shirts, which are decorated with 1Love’s mission statement, “Youth, Planet, Peace”, will be used by Save the Children’s “Literacy Boost” initiative to create and stock libraries and train teachers and volunteers in literacy education.

Marley’s Mellow Mood has come up with a new way to “free the people with music,” launching a weekly free music download series dubbed Tune in Tuesdays. Each Tuesday, this link features a download of a new single from a different emerging artist. Marley’s Mellow Mood has tapped LargeUp to co-curate the series, and this week the featured artist is LargeUp favorite, Hollie Cook.
We’re so big on Hollie, we named her the new artist of the year for 2011 and called her self-titled debut the best Caribbean album of the year. If you haven’t heard her incredible modern take on Lover’s Rock yet, now’s your chance. Go here to download “Cry,” and get to know Hollie with her answers to some of our questions below. (Go here for our full “Rookie of the Year” interview with Hollie).
