Well administration needs to be improved from an administrative perspective. Also, we need to market the brand more. "WE" meaning everybody not only government, but also industry stake holders.
 

What inspires you when you write your music?
My inspiration come from the people in the world, Jah and situations that I find myself in. So you could say my life; I actually did a song entitled "My Life" check it!
 

So what's next for JahCure, any new projects in the works?

 

Well right now I'm in the process of doing my second album for Sobe/DZMG. I have a few new singles I'm about to drop; namely "Unconditional Love", "World Cry" this one features Keri Hilson and Pooh Bear. Its about people in the world going through struggles,so its a different side to Keri. Pooh Bear is a talented song writer, he has written for musicians like Usher,Mary J Blige,Whitney and 112. He's the one that wrote "Transformer" for Chris Brown. I also have a remix i'm working on with Supa Dups with Mary J called "Each Tear," so look out for that one too.
