I Love that original Fire Man Peter Tosh. My day is sweet when Ice Cube's Cronic plays. My memories of Black Revolution days swell when Gil Scott takes the mic. My sistrean pride for Lauren's cries and Aretha's highs. African in Africa in Jamaica in America. Africans worldwide. Nuff respect for your influences in any sound i bring forward. I give respect also to the talents of all nationalities and all music forms that have built the tower that I now try to climb. And for those the road kept who have influenced me personally, Peter, Bob, Tupac, Biggi, Jacob,,Hugh, Garnett, Jimmy, Billie, Rippie, James, Fela, Lou, Etta, and all the others give Thanks for the Music.
