On the Direction Dancehall is Taking
"The Dancehall artists they into a "Hype Thing" living off a hype. Kartel songs those are not culture music...You can't play Kartel songs with your kids running around. If you can't play the music in a residential home that is just entertainment for a certain degree of people"
On the losing the art of Reggae Music
"I Respect the little artist for trying to a make a living but I don't think they see the vision where Reggae music is..Because these artists are not recording on a real Reggae Rhythm."
