‘Time Rolls On’ is my most political piece so far. It’s not on my album because people didn’t support it.
My flow follows sometimes what’s going on in the hip-hop industry even though I’m speaking Jamaican patois.
I would like to work with anyone in the business who wants to give respect back to the Jamaican vibe.
I don’t want to do something unproductive with my time, so I decided to do something musical. So it felt good to say, ‘Yeah, I’m producing.’ It gave me a fresh vibe – inspiring in a different way.
Music tells you about the artist and what they were thinking about at the time, because the person has to think about it to sing it.
I see dancehall reggae and hip-hop as fused together, When I was a kid, they were the two kinds of music that spoke to me and said ‘Move!’
I’m still working on my career, still trying to learn from other artistes and develop my skills and my style.
I’m a big hip-hop fan since being a kid. It was the first music that spoke to me and made me feel like, ‘Yeah.’
I know some very political people who rap, and they say very political things and they’ll never get a deal.
‘Rent-a-tile’ means when you go to a dance hall, some people take the middle of the dance floor and do their thing.
Most people are fortunate enough to stay two, three years in this game. I’ve been in it for seven years, and I feel like now, I’m just beginning.
