I think you should work on your marketing plan. It was not easy for the likes of the late Lucky Dube or most artists. You have to have fight your way in and peform all over and then people will know you. Give us information of your next local peformance and maybe we might attend, because I cannot afford to go to Europe to see you.

Rastas spend thier time sticking it to the MAN and his Babylon system but at the same time want recognition in the MAN's kingdom of capitalism, When will Jah-Man wise up and realise his defeate and that the only way to win is to join them, untill a Rasta can establish his own radio station and TV station and stop rejecting capitalism as you need capital to establish this things, why do you think Rastas still don't have thier own award shows and still expect the MAN to include them in their award ceremonies, wise up Jah-Man and get your own.

don't be sad Dillinger cause you have achieved what many local artists have failed (int'l recognition) just roll in the pounds euros and dollars and enjoy yourself.
