    Without Rik ROKs vocals on "it wasn't me" I don't think the song would've been such a big hit, Rik's vocals truly we're/are amazing!👍

    I subscribed to your channel for years now but never completely watched an interview but, I had to watch Rick Rok!! Saw Rik Rok and Shaggy in Negril at Samsara Hotel in the about 2002… Epic performance… my first live concert… Even though I played music growing up I never heard of him until I listened to “It wasn’t me “ incredible song. Played it dozens of times. Love this interview!!! I write songs as well but secretly. You have inspired me Rik Rok!!! Mmm!!! Let’s see to what extent this interview impact my writing skills. Bless up Rik Rok!!! Very happy moment. I lagged a lot … bless up Shaggy!!! He means the business well. Looking forward to a gospel album from shaggy one day. God has blessed you guys well. I am sure he will influence the change I am praying for. Blessings friends.

    I didn't know I would enjoy this video as much as I would. It's baffling how much Jamaicans were influential in music from all genres and what's more astonishing they were there in the trenches from the get go with all the big names in the music I industry abroad. Out of all ur interviews ric tok is the closest to getting rewarded and compensated for all of his hard work. It's funny how one of the biggest commercial reggae songs ever got so much fight and the hurdles it had to scale to buss inna all plcs.. Hawaii!! Great interview again teach.
