"It’s the language and it's the culture. How small the island [of Jamaica] is, but how relatable it is to the rest of the world. I want Dancehall to represent Jamaica and the culture, but also music overall because Dancehall is actually a genre that mixes with a lot of different genres. It is actually connected to a lot of different types of music in the world and it's also a Jamaican thing"
"It's crazy, because everybody thinks it's something out of the norm that's happened. It's just like me doing what I do best, which is just creating music and watching everything else come to life"
