Big up *Lenny* aka *Suga Demus* aka *Merciless* from my distrist in *Turners* aka *Chapelton, Four Paths.* I too went to *Bredda Claudie Basic School* and then to *Beulah All Age School* with Lenny and his nephew *Orville* aka *Thrilla* who is now a principal.... *Lenny* older brother was the community big deejay along with my cousin *Topence Irie.* .... *Merciless* and looks and sounds like his father, so he never try to sound like *Bounty* this is how him sound, from school days. I remember when *Turner's* was the epicenter of entertainment in *Chapelton.* We had numerous sound systems and even a movie theater back in the late 80's and early 90's. People come from far to *Turners* for fun. Now the community is vertically a *Ghost Town* due to migration and gun violence. It brought tears to my eyes seeing my community comes to this..... Big up *Merciless* and *Teach* .....👍💯🇯🇲
