He explained that he continues to observe and learn from the award-winning musician as he builds his own path in the industry.

While acknowledging the influence of Stonebwoy, Larruso said his goal is to continue building his own place within dancehall music.
“I’ll say to continue the legacy,” he said on Joy Prime monitored by MyNewsGh.
