No!!..this is what i have been saying everyday about the media that we have a media which is not relevant because they don’t research…What is ‘Kuchoko in reggae?If he is doing his own thing he can do it but he should distant it from reggae…when Bob Marley,Peter Torch were building reggae where was he Blakk Rasta?…when did he started doing music? He should stop misleading the public…If he is doing his own thing he should tell the public he is doing his own thing but there is nothing like ‘Kuchoko’in reggae”,Ekow Micah angrily opined to Razzonline.com
