When asked how it was working with Beenie Man, Shaka Pow said, “Beenie perfect cuz him flexibility and energy as an artist ever ready to work and do it fi the music is a hallmark of Moses undercelebrated. He has done a lot for the culture, producers, promoters, sound system, and fellow artist.” Shaka Pow is an ardent supporter of Beenie’s one time rival now very good friend, Bounty Killer, and has publicly supported Bounty on many of his charitable and other efforts so he was quick to distinguish his respect and support for both artists individually and as veterans in the business and explained, “you know Bounty a mi general, philanthropist and poor people governor, well celebrated. Just giving Beenie some a dah glory deh too as the man that opened the shows at UWI (University of the West Indies) when Beenie got his honorary doctorate from the students and Bounty got his professorship.”
