Yesterday my 6 yr old asked me to “make her a beat” 🤣. Took out her little notepad then this happened 🥺😳🤯. All her,lyrics and melody. All I did was press record. Go Lai Lai 💕😁

So happy I saw this. A great lesson here for creatives. Don’t expect everyone to love your art, simply impossible. Just keep working and be grateful for the ppl who support u. Also someone not liking it doesn’t mean dem a fight u. Preference. Keep working 🙏🏾❤️
We felt all the love last night 🙏🏽 But the most important thing for me Dad getting to feel the love of the people, getting his flowers in real time while he’s still here and not after. Big Respect to everyone ❤️ ONE SHIP 🛳️
I think social media tricked a lot of ppl that we all need to have a voice,an opinion & to be seen. But for a lot of us, the success, power and wins will come from silence and working in the background. Everyone ain’t an influencer (myself included)🤦🏾♂️ dont let keeping up wid the
This drum machine changed my life!🔥.Made: redbull & Guinness,12gauge, stick up, daybreak,after dark, shadow, dark again,tremor, etc on this. too much to remember 🥹
Always dreamt of doing songs for film. Now I have a song in the new
@SpiderVerse
movie 🎥🙌🏽🙌🏽. Produced and featured artist. Jus hear mi voice & Riddim chip een pon di big screen a while ago 😃🙏🏽🙏🏽 God is Great! 🕷️🕸️🕸️👨🏾🔬
Bruh. Robbie Shakespeare just passed and TVJ is doing a special on Rih’s outfit 😖🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️… if u ever think JA gonna give u your flowers the real way for your hard work 😓
💡 Creatives need to be more brave. Social media conditioned everyone to “do what works” algorithms,engagement etc. IMO, legends never came from trends.. we start them.
Full circle moment last night. Recording Tarrus & had my girls in studio w/ me the whole session. My dad used to take us to the studio all the time,before we had our own. ❤️ Big song on the way 👨🏾🔬
This one made DayRave Riddim: was on the phone on a call I never wanted to be on 🤦🏾♂️😫. Start mess wid the drum machine to kill time/distract myself- hung up, turned up the machine to hear what I was doing : Day Rave Riddim 🤌🏾
Your “Why” is so important. All I ever wanted out of life as a kid was to hear something I made on the radio ONCE. But bwoy did God have bigger plans for me 😂🙏🏾🙏🏾. I still operate from that same mindset now, with immense GRATITUDE I get to do what I do. Needing less has always
Unpopular opinion : I think we should stop having these “state of the music” ‘what music needs’ convos now. So many unwarranted takes & surprisingly most ppl in the business have no clue how it ACTUALLY works. I say, just do what you do confidently think should be done,and if it
Amazing to watch all the dancehall/reggae purists bawl and complain everyday bout the state of the music while NOT making any real effort to do anything about it🙃😅 . Jus complaining & vibes😄. But what do I know 🤷🏽♂️🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️
All in all. Creatives, jus gwaan focus & figure out unuh ting. The same ppl who used to privately beat me down and say my music Cyaa pass airport, are the first ones to congratulate me now Everytime I do something great.& it’s 100% love 4 them same way. FOCUS
We really need a proper documentary or something on all the “unsung heroes” of our culture. We losing all the legends and all their knowledge/expertise is going with them.
Then I called Ele, 🕺🏽 Him & Ding made “dip again” same time. Ele called Kartel, kartel called Javinchi. Somebody tell Vado bout addi song 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ then him voice “Real Killa” Nufff history one day I gotta document 😃
2022 vibes. The goal is to be better than your 2021 self. NEVER compete or worry abt what anyone else got going on. Let’s Win!! Love each other and enjoy the new year 🙏🏽🖤
Very inspiring to see Madhouse/Dave Kelly get his flowers while he’s still around! Love that 💪🏾🙏🏽. Without the inspo and influence from the legends b4 us, we couldn’t exist. Salute 🫡
@reggaesumfest
There’s no formula. One of the hottest most viral songs today is about Giving Jah thanks & Praises 🙏🏾🙌🏽 no shock value, no crazy sh*t to get attention. Just good vibes & MUSIC🔥🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲
Had the CRAZIEST most stressful year this year. But it taught me resilience & how strong I can be under any circumstance. Sending love to anyone dealing w/ something rn, just know from u have life u have everything & every waking moment of life means God still has plans for u!🖤
R.I.P the legendary Robbie Shakespeare 🕊🙏🏽🙏🏽 Forever Grateful for all that you’ve done, the personal advice/motivation, and for the timeless grooves that defined our music! 🎸🎸🎸

🔥🔥 funfact : Kartel voiced “my scheme” chorus on shadow riddim, never liked it, told me 🗑 It. But I liked it & made a new track around it then played it back for him.. we finished it. and that’s where Darker Shadow riddim came from.
