One of Spanish Town’s native, International Reggae Luminary and Grammy Nominee, Chronixx, in responding to an Instagram post made by the Reverend Dr. Cleve Laing aka Lt.

The Reggae Superstar credited in superlative manner Lt. Stitchie’s debut gospel album “Real Power” as one of the most outstanding gospel albums he has ever come across in his life.

This was the first of seven gospel albums to date, to be released by the G.C. Foster College of Physical Education & Sport graduate.

“Real Power” was instrumental in setting the foundation for the success of the many others Albums that were, that is and are still yet to come”, according the Governor, namely; Kingdom Ambassador, Real Life Story, Serious Message, To God Be The Glory and Stitchie Live In Germany were all giant albums that only added to the already mammoth catalog of this lyrical genius.

However, this never slowed down the living legend’s (who many now referred to as the Dancehall’s Greatest of all time) pace of achievement and growth, as he is currently in the studio working on album number 24. On September 4, 2021 in London, at the prestigious Caribbean Afro and Music Awards (CAMA) he won the Best Reggae Album of the Year 2021, with his 23rd Reggae album, “Masterclass”.
