Content: Otis Redding's Daughter Calls Jay-Z and Kanye "Young Legends"

'I just think the collaboration was certainly a tribute to him, and it's really great,' Karla Redding-Andrews says, speaking of Jay-Z and Kanye's new single "Otis."

"It really means a lot to me, particularly to a whole new generation of young legends, because that's what Jay-Z and Kanye are," Redding-Andrews said. "I just think it's wonderful to tie an old legendary artist whose music history will never die to something [that] they have come up with. I just think the collaboration was certainly a tribute to him, and it's really great."

Ultimately, "Otis" is exposing a new generation to Redding's music in a very hip and cool way. "With what we do with our foundation — pairing music with education, always involved with young people — how can I not be a fan of Kanye West and Jay-Z?" Redding-Andrews said.
