Last Sunday, I ventured down to the legendary, groundbreaking Rinse FM studios in London town to guest on top dancehall sound system, The Heatwave's show. They played out an interview I did with dancehall legend Mr. Vegas. If you're unfamiliar with him, I'm sorry. He has made consistent bangers over the course of nearly 15 years from "Nike Air" and "Heads High" to "Hot Wuk", "I Am Blessed", "Taxi Fare"... the list is extremely long.
Little trivia: Mr. Vegas "Heads High" is the third album I ever bought. Well, my dad bought it for me, but still.
We discuss a wide range of things such as reason he began making music, unexpected success of "Heads High", petition to save reggae, new reggae album, he cusses the DJ's for not keeping the traditional style alive, attacks the media for only reporting negative stories about dancehall, making "I Am Blessed" because of too much daggering, so I ask about his daggering anthem "Hot Wuk" and his new reggae album.
