I love hip-hop music, ... It's rebel music is how I like to speak about it. Hip-hop and reggae come from the same community as far as class...they both come from the bottom of society.

Every one of my father's songs is a lesson.

We take for granted electricity, water, even concerts. Count your blessings.

Everything I've experienced, things that my friends have experienced and we talk about, things that are on the news - all aspects of life are in my message.

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 used to buy records in high school. Mainly dancehall: Super Cat, Buju Banton.

Vexation of spirit is a waste of time Negative thinking, don't you waste your thoughts Verbal conflict is a waste of word Physical conflict is a waste of flesh People will always be who they want And that's what really makes the world go round Unconditional love is scarce.
