This music is about struggle. Reggae is a vehicle to carry a message of freedom and peace.

I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.

When I first started out in this music industry, I was most concerned with freedom. Freedom to produce, freedom to play all the instruments on my records, freedom to say anything I wanted to.

No chains around my feet, but I'm not free.

So, come with me, to a land of liberty, where we can live, live our lives and be free.

I had total control of the album. Chris Swartz at Ruffhouse, my label, said, 'Listen, you've never done anything stupid thus far, so let me let you do your thing.
