I worked in it for 20 years, Hunter S Thompson summed it up best - "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."

Robbie was not only a phenomenal musician globally. But he was a tough dude. Word has it he used to bring his hammer into the recording studio.

Ok, after Keithy couldn't get his part of bargain with an agreement through Maxi Priest's former manager which was bad enough for Keithy to still feel hung up over something that never transpired giving rise to ideas that Maxi is still singing so he wants his money one way or the other. Maxi on the other hand only added more fuel to the fire when Keithy got locked away for sometime, Maxi just couldn't keep his shango stick in his pants didn't even catch any form of hints that the women he had an affair with was Keithy's girlfriend [the Keithy want to delete him at this moment]... Artiste life is a wild and messy trip at times!

Small Axe Sound System was from Brixton, One of the best Weight And Treble Sound System In the 1970s - 80s, Small Axe Sound did not go looking for trouble but if you brought it to them you was in big trouble.
