Hello,
I noticed when listening to Jah Bouks and Capleton it is hard to understand all of the words iman say. (Working in Iyaric sorry if its not correct) I notice they speak very fast and slang lots of the words. Is there anything I can do to make it easier to understand? Thank you

Jah Bless!

Keep listening!

I think Jah Bouks is very clear though maybe Fireman go deep into the dialect sometime. The singers are usually more into the 'English' than the deejays. More singer less DJ for now maybe?

I do understand part is jah bouks it's just hard to understand every word. He often says mi,di,unno and these slang words and says them very fast. I understand some just not all. Maybe if I listen more it will be easier
