Facts

[@ravenahenry]

I learned alot from this interview, didn't know Ele was so decorated. Always love him and his music. I love the fact that he doesn't respond to negativity on social media because he knows who he is.... some other artist could take a page from his book, respectfully.

[@djashanipromo1954]

I have to talk about how elephant man made a whole crowd stay during his performance jerk fest in queens. People were dancing in a thunder storm rain, I was soaked, clothes, shoes soap but Ele didn’t stop because of the rain, he performed the hell out of that event, jump off the stage and run through the crowd and ppl did not stop. I would book elephant man for a show without a doubt

Elephant Man didn't get and isn't getting what he deserves a thousand times over for his contribution to dancehall. Taking danceshall globally by putting the music in a strong neck-hold, running with it solely for years. Elephant Man has the most songs with him saying "suck yuh mumma" in them and the crazy thing about that is you'll find yourself singing along. Great artist "Guh suck unu mummaaaaaa, badman nuh inna no long story" Lovely interview Keep it going Ele.
