Here is what is going on now, all of them music there, a reggae them come from whether road truck reggae, a dancer, a reggae, all of them come from reggae yes you see right now he's a straightforward artist and long as me already if I want to hold upon me a relic a positive song me a put upon it but right now the people them have a style when they want to block you out of the music you know them a go tell you say a the youth dem time. Me no have a problem with that say a the youth dem time but them a remember say we is here too and without we the youth dem gone astray because the youth enough a the youth dem done gone astray already because enough a the youth dem nowadays when dem a DJ are them a sing. You hear them a sing but kill them mother, kill them friend. So we run down that girl them money, legacy, luxury and vanity. Yes. And enough of them no care for the Almighty. They no talk about the Almighty. They no try lead the youth them the right way and them think that's all. Without we the youth them is nothing. So right now when me a tell the world say, me want to embrace the youth on a positivity, not negativity.

0:23:40
Yes.

0:23:40
Because when I was small I couldn't hear a certain tune on the radio. And now I hear everything I play on the radio.

0:23:46
Yes, everything's closed.

0:23:47
And there's another thing they tell us, there's another thing they tell us. Down in the paywall.

0:23:52
Okay.

0:23:53
But I can tell you this up front, hear this. If you carry a song and submit them to the library, then stay there until they're done, so you never hear them man. You never hear a song them man. So when they say a distraction you know say yo you hear me? You can bless him with a cup of tea in a army can bless him with a little gas you know. Saying when you give him gas in him a go start and him a go rev. Yes. See until the engine a go move so. When you hear all them a talk about pay a holder pay a holder. Whole heap a thing need to clean up in a music man. Whole heap a thing.

0:24:25
So tell us.

0:24:26
Whole heap a something need to clean up in that music Yes, so tell us a little, are you a Rasta man or what? You're a Dimination? Alright, here's what's going on now, here's what's going on, I'm a normal human being you know

0:24:42
Yes

0:24:43
I'm a normal human being but I grow my conga, I never bend down and bow to grow my Congo, you know? My Congo just grow and I see it's a naturality. See. You see how I deal it? Yeah but, I ain't gonna lie to you, to myself, I lie to the world, I lie to the eye. Me is not a man who gonna look in a book and a course and a make one bag of nice and a say, ray ray, truth Rasta farrah is the livity you know. It's the livity and the kindness and the love and the passion that Rasta art you know. You see how I deal it? Yeah yeah yeah. Enough people don't really know that you know. Enough people think say, it's the lifestyle where a man, I go see a man's place and the man can't afford one bird to eat tonight or one chicken a morning and you have a fire burn the man and go on like you want the man eat bay bush and I tell the man about vegetarian Rasta thing is not about all about food doctrine you know dada

0:25:43
Yes

0:25:44
Because long as you grow with a mother and a father in a family home you have to take what them provide for you

0:25:50
That's true sir

0:25:50
Because you know when you grow big if you want to broke off with it you can't broke off because in a sense of meaning I will leave for Rasta me cigar doctor and then down leave to come back then dead gone because doctor said them the far from their kitchen

0:26:02
Some man eat bay bush

0:26:04
Some man eat veggie chunks Some man eat tofu Every man want to live it today brother I have a strong when I go up on stage My belly is full My belly is full when I go do shows I can't go up there weeky weeky I have to deliver when I go deliver Have you travelled anywhere across the world doing your music? No, well in my music I never travelled nowhere. I did go to England, I did go to Europe with a group called Mellow Mode. But I voiced a big song for them called Kingstown Six Arms and I'm voicing the song for them now. They met about 17 more artists, different rhythm and then put it on the album yeah my song name Kingstown 6 and them name the album Kingstown 6. So when me say so now and I link them to ask them where my split sheet there it's a problem because then come make me know say right now me do that song there what I'm saying me do that song there like is a community project. Okay. And me and said dada, me back them up and said dada dada dada come on man come on man no community project you can't tell me that. Major McRill Barnia, Brigid here there, Mooman Nancy there, Capeton Liv St Mary come here, African was here, Bobby Crystal was here and I saw me and name out the man them what he there General Plowdey there. Yes. And none of them man they do no community project and this is one of my biggest song now So me no know how you gonna tell me about community project, a joke thing man, you know the pan man So when me realize the man them now, the man them find out say me a know about the business So they link a man name Paul Campbell, Mr. Paul Campbell Who control that place when him sang Embassy 12th Avenue When me check a stock of him a the brains man he is going to tell the man that I am not ready to stage it and I can't hold stage show and he doesn't know nothing at all about me he is the man that doesn't dance at all on stage show he is just the man where the artists get their royalties and then copyrights and we sign up some documents to get it you see what I'm saying? when I find out that now for instance one of the men one of the Mellow Mood twins, one of them named Jacob said to me, he said, oh, they come there one week now and they can't get a song. Because it's a kind of history thing, you know. Them there in Italy, they just pack us through the inner suitcase, send it off on a ship, and say, anywhere it land, that's where they're going to start work from. It ended up that it land up there so now when it do land up there so and then what me then say that's true though the man them want a album after the grung grung album them want them don't want a man we are going on a struda go back up on the ray and the ray they want a grung album anyway a lot of name brand artists come there because even Kibaka Pyramid come there and DJ to a dimension when he stop and pull up and I tell them come again and then take the mic from him and say no man you can't manage your rhythm you just can't manage your rhythm so I'm not can't manage your man can't manage your rhythm you know it's a six minutes rhythm and the mongol talk two and a half minutes and I pull up yeah you see so the man then take the mic from him man and give it to Empress Latifa give it to Empress Latifa and when they gave Empress Latifah, Empress Latifah never heard it yet. So me now, I did a stand up a look and the bridge look for me and say, yo, hear me now, what you can do? I say, I'm not exaggerating about, he's one of the greatest, he's born of the music, you know what I'm saying? Let me hear what you have now.
