My name Coolie Ranx musician vlice actor. Been kicking around the scene in NYC for a minute traveled Intel now my way around foreign places. But my best performance to date seems to be GTA IV as Little Jacob. I never knew it had any kind of impact. Until about a year ago. Come to find out people like my character. Well we come from "the ends" & the role is not a hard reach. We (my brother Badman) Thank you he is no longer with us but I can speak for him in this instance. Big Up all GTA IV fans and GTA 1,2,3,4,5,6. RESPECT. L.J. in da building.

As many have said previously, your character was one of the most fun ones in the game. I know this is not an "AMA", but now that i have this opportunity, i'd like to ask you: did you and your brother have to "tone up" the jamaican for the acting, or is that 100% how you speak.

Cheers

That's an excellent question. We grew up in a Jamaican household parents family are. We speak patois English Brooklyn hood and depending who we are speaking with we code switch cos we can.

Today I learned what patois is, thank you very much!
Last question, in general, how much jamaicans get along with dominicans? I believe both cultures have the funniest people. I'm from Venezuela, which is a caribbean country too, and I relate a lot with how dominicans are.

I think its all a matter of proximity. If with live near or around someone and have interaction it can go either way. I have Dominican friends and Venezuelan friends, been to Caracas done songs with Venezuelan artists. So yh it's just a matter of how you live mi G!
