This is our Grammy, we've been working hard and training because we still nuh reach the ultimate; even when we think we are there, we're not there. So we keep moving forward. It's a next challenge that we have to overcome suh wi ready," the Notorious hitmaker said.

"Because of my representation of Africa through the music all the time and calling for repatriation, the people always let me know that 'You are one of the warriors that fight for us in the west, so when you come back in the east we will take care of you'. It's a very big fan base down there so we tend to always be touring down there," Turbulence told THE STAR.
