When you think about the passion that's involved wth Jamaican culture, it's like, they're not sitting around waiting for things to get all pretty: they want it raw and dutty.

No matter what class you're from - uptown or downtown - when you're in the dancehall everyone's equal, and it's how you choose to express yourself that makes you stand out.

I would be lying if I didn't say that the most inspirational place for me is Jamaica.

I'm inspired by everything that I encounter, from the environment to people to other songs, movies and artists.

Especially as an artist who has been signed to one of the majors throughout my last ten years, you don't always get to write your own music.

In the dancehall world, we have crews and they battle. It's part of the entire culture surrounding dancehall.
