You didn’t mention Buju album Shiloh
Tappi shouting. Anyhoo. I enjoyed this episode. Maybe break it into 2 shorter episodes. Ijs some ppl won't want to stay tuned in for a whole hour.
Your whole approach to this interview has improved a thousand percent 👍🏿 since the last one keep grinding and growing. The lighting is perfect and the background is nice as well
I love the conversation and everything. The only thing I would work on is the lightening a little. Overall good job!
Good work. Stay on this same path. The more interviews you do you will gain more experience. Great work especially compared to others who have been doing it before you.
This is the most educative interview u will find from a Jamaican musician I’ve ever seen “ever” RESPECT!
💯
I am a DJ and I miss playing Juggling Riddims in dancehall. Di Genius has a lot hit Riddims. and produced music for Two of the Greatest Artiste in 2000s era Vybz Kartel and Mavado.
We miss that the most outta Kenya
Di Genius changed the game..Every Riddim was epic 📌📌📌
He was so so humble in high school. We had the hypest stage shows though cuz a ber big artist him mek come perform.
I really love how these interviews flow like a conversation instead of constant questions. It’s so organic and entertaining to watch and learn about the “behind the scenes” aspect of music. Excellent job Dale! This aguh reach far.
One of the most talented & equally humble of producers. Listening & being able to relate makes the interview even more "better". Big up Elliot fi da 1 ya
A true him riddim them tuff mon
You're fortunate to get this young legend on your show, congrats man🙂🙌
We need back Stephen in dancehall asap

Probably the most prolific producer from Jamaica, hit rhythm and hit sounds 🔥🔥🔥
For sure 1 of the greats
Yh but Notnice up deh too.
That's right
Dave Kelly nd Toni Kelly is the most prolific..genius is great also
Don carleone have them big riddim
Maddest thing dat
Yo Stephen! This one is not evil, this one is to uplift the people. People would say we can't live in the past, but in 2009 was the best era for dancehall we need more of that congregation in riddims.
Word
I think the production and the chemistry of the artist /producers back then is unmatched .big up Stephen ,baddest /one of the greats of our time .. up dale
"Can't Take We life" and "Be careful" is two MAAD tune that i listen on replay can't play one without the other. "Protected" mad same way
Yow Dale big up yuhself bro. This interview is life. Years we've wanted some insight Into one of the greatest producers ever!! This is a class work bro. Perfection!!!!! Stephen was just on point and flowing. The ease and naturalness of this interview is refreshing!!! Damn good work bro!!!!! Keep it up
This is a BIG link up Dale ... Stephen is the best from our Havendale days ... pity we all have to leave Jamaica. I am loving this session.
Ik this man music anywhere I hear it. Controlla was a surprise .
Truth is whether or not you know who produced a track or riddim your spirit has a way of attracting/gravitating to that source. Stephen is gifted and ICONIC.
I'm so glad that I came across this podcast. I've missed Steven McGregor on the dancehall scene. I grew up admiring his productions and the authenticity of his productions. I can't can't pick a favorite riddim because they're all so versatile.
Really like the idea of this being more of a convo rather than like an interview
Mavado Gangsta For Life is 1 a di best album out of dancehall also, almost if not every song hit.
True
Next level shit!!!!! Idk how u pull this off bro cause Stephen nuh di interview fi everybody!!!!! Great works bro 🙏🏾🙏🏾 more success
Uncle Dale dem a tune in NOWWW love dat fi yuh unc bless up yuh self 💯❤️
This podcast definitely has its place. The newcomers need this knowledge. Wi likkle but wi talawah explained from a musical perspective. The newcomers need this knowledge. Two legends great interview👍🇯🇲
It got easier but the sound of it is so different because it’s easier; it’s not authentic or natural. But when artists come together it’s so like authentic & real. I loved that era! ‼️🔥
Stephen Di Genius, the baddest producer 🔥🔥🔥
Gaza and gully a one link when it comes on to reminiscent god know, both artist did a lot for us and them. Best days a mi life in dancehall dem time deh o was in school.......youths put some respect on kartel,movado,steven,notice all a dem man yah name 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🙏🙏🙏
True
Real talk Every song on chronology was a hit. Deserved a Grammy
I love how Stephen pays homage to the legends and the culture. You can’t know where your going if you don’t know where your from. N his love and respect for the music and those that came before is a big part of his success.
Remember to keep the focus on him and leave time for him to think upon de question.
Stephen is a real motivation for the yute them , mi literally a medz the interview on a different scale
All the way up!!! Loved this. This was a real Guiness moment. Big ship sailing. Congratulations to both of you ❤️
He was also a writer on controlla too. So big stuff

The voice is loud and the reasoning is raw. Can’t find anything negative to say this podcast is like regular conversations that we share with our peers on a daily basis. Just continue with the same energy it’s a breath of fresh air.
Di Genius will always be Di Genius🔥🔥🔥 1 King...Giant at a young age, Favorite Producer no doubt, n to watch the growth even betta🔥🔥🔥💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🏆🏆🏆
Stephen youngest person to see major league success independently 🔥💯🥶
I love the conversation. You’re doing great, Dale.
Stephen mek my high school days well enjoyed wit his beats and the artist that worked on then..
This is what you can a REAL INTERVIEW. Need more of this.
It’s great seeing Steven too. BIG SHIP!!!🔥
I absolutely loved this reasoning with Stephen. The most prolific statement he stated was "moving to chase discomfort to be better at his craft" !.. what a worrrrd! Big up!
We need a mavado interview next gully side 4life
One of the living legends we need to give him credit now big up for this informative interview appreciate your contribution to the dancehall culture.
Bredda this interview is GOLDEN
The musical child prodigy himself. Dare I say Stephen curated my entire teenage musical experience. From his reintroduction of dancehall fusion to the industry and the back-to-back hit riddims, to the ability to not only pull top-tier acts together on one juggling project but also new acts like Bramma and Laden, this man is a legend who deserves his flowers while he can still smell them. When his focus shifted to higher things outside Ja, you felt the migration. You felt the impact on the sound and the shift in the culture. You felt the loss. But man, did this man form part of an exciting era which saw discourse about daggering music, Gaza vs Gully, genre-fusing...and he also aced as a recording artist himself ('Don't Cry' being my fav record of his). I have so much respect and reverence for him and the talented McGregors. Truly 'Di Genius'. Salute!
Stephen (Di Genius) McGregor! One of the best producers out of 🇯🇲 Great conversation 🙌
Maan I really enjoy this segment you should start do segments with the dancehall producer them this was super great. I hope one day Vybz Kartel ,Mavado & Elephant Man do a dancehall album in the future that would be epic 💯
One of the most humble producers yet successful on another level man should change him name to Stephen is giant 🔥
Dale this interview was more like a conversation. You did your research and you know your stuff. You weren’t trying to find answers but you knew a lot as well. Enjoyment man
Would love for him and Alkaline to do some work.
