Dem Lott
Listen 

On major deals
"Everybody's got it in their head now that you have to be signed to a major to make it in this business... To be real, we're not getting no big deal like Jay-Z or any of the big stars in America... It can be done without the majors."
On breaking through 
"Once you're putting out the right amount of tunes and good quality music, they can't hold it back." 

On being pigeon-holed as a garage act
"Dem Lott is just music, period. We're just artists. We can apply ourselves to any genre of music. If you give us hip hop, we'll hurt that. And we're not gonna hurt it better than we hurt a reggae track or vice versa."
