In this full-length interview, Unique Mecca Audio starts by speaking to a VladTV correspondent about being the cousin of famed activist Marcus Garvey.

He explained that he didn’t get his first pair of shoes until he moved to America. Unique then shared stories about seeing police in Jamaica riding on horseback and handcuffing people with rope, like in the Western movies he was watching as a kid. He then explained that the only people to look up to when he was a kid were the criminals.
Moving along, Unique Mecca Audio spoke about getting in the streets, and he explained that when he was in Jamaica, he didn’t realize that the street guys were making money illegally.
