Bola Ray Speech

“I started off as a DJ and I loved it, I played from Kaneshe Sports Complex, to labadi beach because I loved it. The money was coming through because I needed to pay my school fees but in all of this, apart from the fees, it was the passion”. So someone may see you at the Aphrodisiac nightclub on the microphone Friday, Saturday they come through and you’ll hear, ‘this guy he no go go study, he is in school and still mcing, or this guy, he dey love go club’, it wasn’t about the club, we needed to pay the fees and we needed to keep body and soul together.”

“Sometimes don’t judge anybody that you see because you never know their hustle, I think that in this country we are quick to judge and give people names and all but we don’t know their stories, we know their names, we see we’ve seen that they say oh this lady she is after this man and you will want to judge her wrongly or, this man, he is a drug dealer and all, but you don’t know the story behind” he said.
