One of the best interviews I have seen, no lie. The stories of how some of our favorite dubs came to be is so amazing

[@jfb95019able]

Magnificent interview. Easy Trooper, you’re a real warrior

[@ZootedmanGoldtoneSound]

If you haven't read this man's book you are missing out. My only complaint is that it was too short. One of the greatest to ever play sound system!

[@eapradius]

If you love him or him hate you deny that Ricky Trooper is a legend

Ricky is a true soundman and top selector, one of the few remaining selectors

[@admiralhipowa7158]

Nice interview with Ricky Trooper, Ricky Trooper is a bonafied music lover & sound system man, just look & listen to some of the artists he helped.discover, Garnet Silk, Luciano & the list goes on. Give the man his flowers while he is here with us. Many sound systems pattern their style from Ainsley & Ricky Trooper, but won’t admit it. Look how many youths he’s helped with the marching band. LEGEND 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🔈🔈🔈

[@FrankieG63]

Thank you for nourishing a real German fan whose heart is bad ina it since 1987.

[@davidt8381]

Trooper really knows and appreciates the history of reggae music. Also I like the way he mentioned Ainsley who laid the foundation of Jaro during the 80s alongside Early B & Supercat.

[@marvinwright7656]

Ricky Trooper on Jaro was legendary. I grew up on Trooper making dubs to counteract every single Bounty Killer tune when they weren’t on good terms. So many classic Sizzla, Garnet, Buju, Capleton dubs 🔥 Trooper is a dancehall icon
