Something he can never stop:Praisin' the King,Haile Selassie I the 1st and
music.Music is the tool in which if used the right way can touch the wider masses and those that hunger for more than just a hot beat or loop with
nothing to elevate the mind lyrically&spritually wise,can find that in his music,
where he spreads the message of the Rastaman,peace,love and unity.His firm belief that there is an everlasting and undying force that keeps the human temple going and one must recognize,accept and listen to that inner spirit,that natural mystic,for Jah is in I and I and I.
