Family And Friends

In Jamaica, Them Always Have Throwback Riddims, Recycled Old Beats, And The Hardcore Reggae Scene Is Always Present. You Have Faster Stuff Like The More Commercialized Stuff, But You Always Have That Segment Of Music That Is Always From The Core, From The Original Root Of It.

The Greatest Thing To Me About Obama Is Not The Individual, It Does Not Have To Do With Obama Himself - It's Really About The People Who Have Elected Obama. It Demonstrates That People Are Ready For Change, And I Think Obama Knows That, Because He Really Came Up From The People, The Young Generation Especially. He Motivated A Lot Of African Americans Who Never Voted Before To Go And Vote.

Young Generation

A Revolution Is To Bring On Change And We're Spiritual People Trying To Bring On Spiritual Change. It Might Sound Like I'm A Dreamer, But Economic Models Have Reached Their Height Of Evolution.

It's Not Like I Go Into The Studio And Say I'm Going To Try To Make Music To Prove To Somebody That I Can Make Music.

I Grew Up In Uptown Jamaica; I Went To A Rich School. I Was Raised By My Mother And My Stepfather; They Made Sure Education Came Before Anything.
