    Really and truly this interview has become one of the better interview I've listened to from Teach Dem. Much respect to Jah Thomas. I remember shoulder move as a big, big tune. This interview brought Jah Thomas's career to the forefront for many of us. Never knew his history in the music and his many contributions. Thank you Teach Dem for this...keep doing the darn thing and continue bringing the great ones to us.

    @noeljames1254 2 года назад +5

    What an awesome interview. This gotta be one of the most candid interview. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Jah Thomas chronicles my first decade in the music fraternity as a Dj/selector...his Midnight Rock label had a staple amount a chunes that were a must have. A chune that standout from the label is Triston Palmer's "Nuh Shot Nah Fire"...one a mi favorite song...because a nuh too many selectors were able to play it. I had gotten it pre-released so even to this day it is bragging rights for me when I play it. I am always willing to bet another selector nuh have it. Quite likely Jah Thomas had supm to do with the lyrics fot that Triston Palmer song as well. I want to big up Jah Thomas. He's absolutely commendable because he speaks so well about everyone. That is a testimony to the man's character. Nuff love for this brother. He is awesome. I love his story.
