GENERAL TREES shares his STORY

[@TeachDem]

General Trees is doing very well after suffering two strokes in recent years. Though not 100% his recovery has been progressing extremely well.

[@Ranymo]

Teach Dem, thank you, thank you, thank you so much for having the (real general) on the show, General Trees is my first musical idol... this is the first time watching a Teach Dem interview where I got so emotional... 😭when hearing the General talk about how Jack dealt with him on the business part of the music I couldn't help but shed some tear knowing how huge the General songs was as a youth growing up; he was the man for many years, artists use to fear the General and that's not a joke talk. I watch this man shell down stage shows and dancehall like no other.. I have him as 1 of the greatest to ever do dancehall/reggae music 🎶. Salute mi General 🙌.

Jack sounds like he doesn't pay artist for their work, King Yellowman said he used to DJ on Scorpio and wasn't getting paid, but I was most surprised when General Trees said he was not being paid 🤔

[@rqztaz]

@@pablot7049 that's because they looked up to people like Jack too much.

Jack is collecting money for these guys so he must pay them

General Trees one of my top three. Artists always say that they were robbed of royalties yet when Khago went for what is his many out there criticized him. Get your royalties Trees. .

[@zookid4]

These artiste in the 80s was so much in love with the music and so loyal that they were blind to the financial aspect of the business, my apology for their lack of monetary fun and support while giving us so much joy with their talent, these producers should be ashamed of themselves.
