    I like the fact that Teach is giving those veterans a platform to tell their story, because whenever an old person dies, a library of knowledge burns.

    Teach is just the best interviewer in entertainment in Jamaica. He allow these artist to express themselves freely. He allow them to recreate their relevance and we the fans even younger fans learn more and appreciate them even better. This come to mind, "nothing is new under the sun" fashion and style is a cycle. When he said they was worried with his style he come to mash up music, when I thought Kartel was the first to sing about clothes and shoes etc. Big up little John.
