"The situation has been so tough. I hustled with Radio, from the start. Like you're used to working with someone from day one, so when you lose someone like that, you might proceed with the music, move on with your life because there is nothing to do but there is a way you feel; life changes, from studio, the writing of the music, everything changes. You have to do videos on your own. It's you, Weasel, without Radio.
“I was so used to performing with him but, this was my second time to sing without him and it's so weird,” he said.
He noted that following Radio’s death, he was forced to change his music to dancehall, since he did not have a vocalist anymore.
Regarding his upcoming projects, Weasel noted that he will be dropping his album soon, and it will feature several top artistes.
"My album is coming out very soon. Watch the dates. I do not have to give up because I lost a brother. It is very bad I lost him but we have to keep on fighting. It's like war, when you lose a soldier, you do not go back home. You proceed." Weasel said.
In his album, Weasel features top artistes including; Spice Diana, Jose Chameleone, Pallaso, Rudeboy Oswuare, Wizkid among others.
