“I know if I woke up in Clarendon and I was talking about anything unjust it probably wouldn’t be coming from my brethren. It would be coming from the song playing, creating a vibe and we would say “That bad” and start talking about it. It would always stem from that.”

“To some people, my music is like a healing process, like a physician, you know, a teaching, a guideline. You know, it's a rough time, it's a good time, it's a smooth time, not so bad time. It's a lot of things, you know, go on through this music and with this music. But nevertheless, we have to stand up and stand as firm as we can.”

You must look forward in the natural way and eat irie from the garden.”
- Joseph Hill

- Beres Hammond

- Triston Palmer

“When it comes to the industry and working with people as long as everything is upful and you are delivering the same message, I don’t have any problem working with any individual; so I don’t really have a preference when it comes to ministering to the people.

- Jah Mason

"Yeah man! Good vibes, good music, good people, that's all we need in life. If that is what Jah decided for me, Rastafari, so be it!"
