Busy signal has to be the greatest artiste to ever come out of JA I swear this guy is sick! His style, flow, lyrics is crazy. Sometimes I wonder y he seems to underrated by some people but I guess it’s because he’s humble and not hype like some of these fools. I can’t wait to see what he has in store for 2015
