(MK) Tell me what’s different with this record in contrast to the "Walk Out"?

(LS) Walk out is different from the other album simply because its more personal the song infertility its very important song to me very personal you know i wrote that song when i had my second miscarriage and also I'm more grown up on this album I'm not as raw as i used to be so you can play
this album at home and not have your mama say what the hell! you know maybe one or two words in one song but all the others are clean and im also singing trying to please my whole fans who wanted me to sing more

(MK) From Day one you started Do you believe you matured and why?

(LS) I believe i mature because I'm now 37 looking like 16 still and my topic more mature more grown not more grown but more positive you know I'm not the world prettiest this is telling people listen you need to love yourself if you don't have a straight nose. It doesn't matter i don't have to be perfect just love what gods as created so yes Ive mature from the raw to person you usually know not that i won't do it on stage I'd still be doing it


(MK) How do you feel about the changes in Dancehall /reggae Music? Is the new better or worse than 5, 10 or 15 years ago?

(LS) The change that I'm looking at right now that i don't like is the fact is that years ago people used to live in harmony like you could find 10 artists who is Dancehall working on one song everybody's happy now what you find is competition people like start getting envious about other artists another artist position they holding.

like take for me I'm the queen of Dancehall
i have female who are jealous of me they hypocrite and its not good they other thing is everybody fights in life the male are acting like chicks right now
arguing with each other and the ego and all that its messing up the whole business i don't like that you know but what i do like this is the change i like and I'm looking out right now our local acts are getting a chance to get a chance to be like on the Grammy usually you don't get the Dancehall artists out there Shabba was the first one who really you know got that chance now Sean Paul and everybody is feeling that they you know can go to the Grammy we breaking outdoors you know what I'm saying and barriers and all that.

(MK) Since you put your first record out in The 90's, how do you feel you have contributed to the scene yourself?


(LS) I contributed a lot.A lot of female they are now looking up to me a lot of female idolize me there so many ladies who wanna be right now i contribute right there female admire me like female feels like woah! as a woman she as strong as the men are you know i get paid like the boys or sometimes more then the boys or as much as the boys so female sense looking at that as u know look at me as a strong women and they do idolize me and look up to me some of them you know thats great.


(MK) In One of your song you refer to a crew, whom consist your crew?

(LS) The song my crew thats what you talking about. my crew is not really about me its just everyday living every day life i look at people's life and like people in my surrounding people in the dancehall younger folks i look at what they dancing what they talking about you know in the dancehall you have the thing name walkout where woman walk out in front of other women
you know its like a crew like this crew is saying to that crew my crew push the axes right you know but this song wasn't really about that and it turned out to be like that....cause a lot of people are now grabbing teeth into it
and like woah yo mi crew this and dat this song basically

it was addressing some hypocrite friends of mine like i teach them out to make money you know introduce them good life give them a break and then they start talking behind my back you know so i make them know its just no money me no money long time you know we a dress long time inna hot clothes and hot hair how we ah push hot cyar o there is two answers right there you know its for me and the dancehall fan u know the real street one.
