Absolute legend. Degree was so good at making every verse of a song important. Often the third verse was the hardest. many artists done one or two verses and then repeat. But when I’m a jugglin riddim mix I always have to play out a degree tune in full. big ups to the man….. the legend

General Degree is classic. His first daughter, K.Butt, and I were classmates. Degree, you remember when you used to sit down on the red fire hydrant right up at Miss monica shop? I used to pass there as a child and hear you a dj. Do you remember Wayne that died in 95? Him never buss but used to sing like Garnet Silk too.
