Here is Producer "Roach" Speaking about the dancehall and reggae music business.
Patrick "Roach" Samuels, former producer and long-time friend of prominent Dancehall artiste, Vybz Kartel, called out Don Corleon on Wednesday.
In this video, Roach accused Don Corleon of corrupting the mind of "Di Teacha," amongst other artists and producers, calling him Dancehall's "poison." Additionally, Roach claimed that the Major & Minor Riddim producer tried to prevent his first major production, the Siren Riddim (2005), from being released via Greensleeves Records CEO, Chris Cracknell. The Riddim featured Kartel, along with Buju Banton, Busy Signal, and Anthony B amongst several other major Dancehall/Reggae acts.
May his soul rested in peace!
