Someone came across your blog about my album 'Rebelution' and told me to check it out. I must say many thanks for recognizing what i'm talking about. It's very frustrating to be caught in the middle of such a ridiculous feud as is going on between Reggae/Dancehall and the gay community. Just as you must know that every gay person can't possibly represent you correctly, so every Jamaican artiste cant represent me correctly either! Good luck on your struggles, and thanks for your good wishes to me on mine :-)
If you ever feel like exchanging thoughts hit me up, I really love a good enlightening conversation! :-)
From your new 'friend' (even if unwanted:-) )
