Ua piha ka mākeke hana, a ʻokoʻa ka Leftside no ka mea ʻaʻole ia e manaʻo e hoʻololi. Ma kāna mau hana, mālama ʻo ia i ke ʻano o ka mele Jamaican, kahi i hoʻokipa lōʻihi ai i ka lehulehu o nā ʻāina ʻē.
ʻO ka mea wale nō i pili ʻole ʻia ʻo ia nā mea hana hou e hoʻopuka ana i nā kani hou. Akā hoʻāʻo ʻo ia e maʻalahi a maʻemaʻe, no laila ʻaʻole haʻalele kāna mau riddims i nā pāʻina kahi i nalo lōʻihi ai nā hana a nā poʻe ʻē aʻe.
