GAMBUSTER ask ooz "How do you see the Gambian music scene & where do you think its heading?"
OOZ replied " The Gambian Music scene has it’s up’s and downs I mean there are a lot of people doing their thing and there are some who need to stop doing whatever they are trying to do because it is not helping us go forward at all. The Music scene is not balanced we have some really talented artist and then some really whack artist being put in competition and that is not good business the music needs to get filtered and their needs to be separation. That’s why we have high school sports then college and the pro’s and not everyone who plays high school ball makes it to college or the pro’s so some artist should not be on the same stage, shows, DVD’s, magazines or what not if someone is not creating good music that’s not up to standard then we should not be behind it."
