Tanya Stephens is one of the greatest to ever do this music in the history of our culture. As an artist myself, I salute her🙏.

[@Shamm101]

So true , I love her so much ❤❤❤

[@respectbigman3133]

I love this girl as a sister . She need to decide if she want to do politics. I am not sure if she is as ready as she think. Politics is a dog fight more so than music bus.

[@paulineboothe9881]

I just love Tanya Stephens, her music and its lyrical contents, even the way she expresses her self. She is just a realist who speaks her mind, great artist, wish her all the best 🥁🥁🥁🎙🎵🎼🎉🇧🇯 Respect to the max. Peace X

[@roidavis931]

She is quite eloquent and does her own thinking...unlike most people. Love that about her.💛 Not to mention her music and her ability to engage an audience on stage. Gwaaan Tanya!!!

[@farrelking733]

Jah know this lady needs to do more interviews... She is so elusive.... Her words are powerful and her brain is clicking like a AK 45....I always learn when she does an interview

Tanya, you're not a "good writer." You're an excellent writer.

[@sexytambla]

I love Tanya...please let her know. Many of us still love and appreciate your work 🎉

[@user-yk1hj4dw1d]

(Ari let me down sometimes during this interview)...the legendary Tanya is not simple. Her mind is fascinating. Conversations with her is so stimulating. I remember meeting her once and I teared up. Her music is timeless. Bless up Tanya every time!

[@talktruthpodclass]

Ari chat more than how she listened to understand. That's her biggest problem. Ari was not raised by a teacher, that's a big lie. She too slow man she shame her mother

I always see people complain and i also observe that issues with her not giving the guest to speak

Tanya Stephens is such a breath of fresh air. She speaks with so much common sense. Jamaica needs minds like hers to build the country.

[@camillapierre2034]

Tanya is the real original dancehall queen! Big honor and respect! Love her lyrics, vybs and music! ❤

[@TaceDo-mw8bl]

This interview deserves a grammy

[@MB-kd2tp]

I personally takes this interview as a Christmas present, really enjoyed it, to me this girl Tanya is the greatest female artiste of all time in my book, she's so out spoken, honest, true to herself, a great writer and also a great performer and that's what makes her number one for me.

[@marqspence9192]

Best believe that Tanya speaks the truth. Facts!!!

[@shashamoniland2637]

Tanya, u r the most gifted and talented female artist in the history of reggae music. Continue to do greatness. You are blessed.

[@Mark-il6hh]

I would listen to this lady every day

[@ThoughtsOfARetroBystander]

this interview made me cry tears from laughing, had me shake my head at the fuckery that takes place based on how jamaican society functions, and made me think and scream in agreement at what was being said in terms of the knowledge. respect people because i am a respectful person not because you are respectable. lot of food for thought. Big Up Tanya Stephens and The Fix for this interview

[@kylechin3244]

This Woman is a great Artist!!! Great performer just as well. Saw her at unruly fest in action for the first time and listen she was the entire show she and agent sasco (assassin) and i wayne. All in all she is just a genuine soul.

[@denisehopkins4885]

I love her mind❤. This was one of the best discussions I have seen on the Fix!

[@desmondrussell281]

Watching from Switzerland ❤ Tanya to be real is to love, there are too many of us who only love what we wants to hear. Respect to the FIX.

[@camillapierre2034]

Tanya booked all over the world! She always make her audience feel welcome and make them feel they saw a great show! Come back to Sweden any time! ❤

[@curthepburn2529]

One of the realest and probably the best interview from The Fix. Respect Tanya. Respect The Fix

[@sultanist8981]

Went to sumfest just for her n Freddie n believe me, I wasn’t disappointed! Tanya was n will always be my favorite female dancehall artiste…my queen for sure 💚💚

[@Dmuzikchenist]

She’s a cancerian, so I expect nothing less. She Speaks from the heart, and is rounded to tackle any topic.

[@Andredesignz]

This was a beautiful interview and it's also an eye opener and mek mi a pree life different.

[@skemolehgen7543]

Very different are wisdom and views are out of this world.

[@mindovamatterjm]

Lovely interview.Tanya is definitely one of the best artiste in Jamaica!

[@vygilantmusic2067]

Tanya mind work soo different such brilliance when you hear this lady speaks I can eat my Christmas dinner an listen to her

[@jahivah]

So good to see Queen Tanya doing well. Gangsta Blues is one of my alltime favorite albums and a masterpiece in it's own right. Sadly Tanya has never gotten the recognition she deserves nor benefitted from her immense talent.

[@ZAya-go4oj]

In Jamaica - true

[@shayneikabrown1894]

Omg. I loved this. Tanya as a young woman i wanna tell you. I love you. I listen to your music every Sunday while im chilling or cleaning. But 'after you' i listen to almost everyday because its on my Playlist that i play in my car.

[@danielleplowright7541]

Best interview of the year 😂😂😂😂 love Tanya! Big the fix!

[@karenchung1831]

The great Tanya Stephens! Talented, witty and hard core. ❤❤

[@reliable2612]

Tanya Stephens is remarkably one of the greatest artists that ever graced reggae music. Comfortable in her own skin, because she is always so positive even in negative situations. Born psychologist, I’m convinced that she should get a degree in this. She is very unique and I liiiike her. Because of her Mr. Mention song, a African called me that name in NY back in the early 2000s. Long and short, me and the African girl got involved because of her song. Big up yourself Tanya, you are a Pillar in Reggae Music and I hope one day I will have my own reggae awards to honor you like you deserve. Much love and respect

[@dafootball1695]

I would love to see a Collab with Tanya Stephens & Alkaline.

[@IkeonDjamali-mk1dc]

Tanya please do a collab with Alkaline

[@90sdancehallkid40]

Ummmm what would you they sing about?

[@ZAya-go4oj]

​@@90sdancehallkid40are you trying to be funny? They're two of the greatest Jamaican lyricists of all time, they could talk about, money, weed, bad mind, politics in music, feeling annoyed by narrow minded Jamaicans like yourself lol

[@HangoutwithSimone]

I love me some Tanya Stephens! Watched her perform in Dallas Texas and throughly enjoyed every minute of it! ❤

[@staceyannwhite8696]

Big up the Fix listened and watch most of your episode .. relaxing for me after a full day at work ...keep up the great work 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Big up the entire Fix team🇬🇾…….

[@highyellow7647]

I love watching her interviews. She's very intelligent which is not surprising at all❤

[@xidiamond6851]

Shame she isn’t global. Lyrically she is on another level not just locally but internationally. If she had crossed over to America she’d have lots of Grammys and billboard hits. I’ve heard her sing complete songs in standard English so that wouldn’t be a problem. Rebelution was robbed a Reggae Grammy. If an American artist sang Do You Still Care maybe India Arie it would have won Song of the Year. The lyrics capture 2023

[@Kemiskurio]

She is global.

[@trishjames2730]

She is global/international… this is the calm of her career. She is an all time favorite in Europe.

[@Lugtool27]

Fi real fam

[@leeennise.a3338]

She's performed international though

[@MzblkcaribEnt]

Rebelution is still a great album to this day!!! She still on my playlist from 45, cassette, cd, mp3 and now in my iTunes 😂

[@RobertCarvalhoUK]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.Tanya Stephens is brilliant, highly intelligent probably one of Ja's best singer/songwriters. Reading, comprehension and critical thinking, creativity is essential in this process. Very interesting conversation, I've come to the conclusion that the those youth involved in the dancehall space, dumb themselves down to be relatable....balance is needed.

[@sophiachue]

Wonderful interview. I love love Tanya and all she stands for.
