Right after that, i just know that he was a raggae singer when someone mentioned about being his number one fan where that person also had so many collection of his music and even used Jamaica flag (Bob Marley origin) as his phone case cover. I guess that person was so obsess and idolized Bob Marley a lot. So guys, please continue read about him and raggae, which i had wrote here until the last word. Ok ? Deal !
