A: Well, if the critics are talking about it and even going as far as to agree that it does then I guess the answer to this question would already be... Yes! We do believe that music has a very big impact on society.
Q: Dancehall is undoubtedly a very raw brand of music. Do you think that that element of dancehall needs to be curbed?
A: We think if its raw, why curb it? But in a business world where record sales is the objective, we do think that curbing the sound of raw dancehall in order for it to reach a broader market and audience wouldn't be such a bad idea, it would more help to cross our sound and our culture.
