[@StephenSonOfErick82]

my boy said put me on the BOTTOM just SPELL my name RIGHT. this dude don't only have a Jamaican voice but he has their HEART/ HUMBLENESS as a REAL one!!

[@kzfive]

The Irish connection in Jamaica he talked about, he's 100% correct.

[@jackjill8129]

Yup a lot Irish indentured servants were sent to Jamaica and coastal Georgia too for that matter

Up until recently was one of the only other places where Guinness was brewed besides Dublin

[@vibezlogistics7453]

On other islands as well..

[@mywirsrxed]

@@jackjill8129 thank you for making that important distinction in your statement. Big up to Snow, but the Irish brought to the Caribbean weren't slaves, they were indentured servants. The experience and circumstances were horrible, but they had the very real chance of becoming free, whereas African slaves did not.

[@Mangraper]

@@mywirsrxed I'm sure them Irish people burning under that sun while performing forced labour cared what they were called.

Snow did a lot for Canadian reggae and hip hop. Grew up listening to him. Also know people who went to school with him

What're you gonna do except seek out the best music, anyway? ;-) That is how I look at it. It's not as if I had a choice. I did not grow up with it.
