This was in 1997.

I remember going up and I said, do you have any like Sizzler or Bujabantin or Capleton? And they were the biggest artists in Jamaican music back then.

They were huge.

And he looked at me like, Like, are you crazy? And he just rushed me off.

Well, that's the best way to start.

And so I met him and I interviewed him in his office.

And then I just started saying, you know, like, I want to interview, you know, some of the artists that he works with, like Luciano and Capleton.
