“…I won’t take all the credit for Ghetto Music’s [groundbreaking sound]. At the time I was surrounded by some very talented people. Now I had some new people with me…some new influences. One of those new people who joined BDP was Sidney Mills who came in around 1988. He was one of the producers of this reggae jam ‘Telephone Lover.’ This record was disgustingly huge! At the same time I was producing Sly & Robbie, major reggae artists that did every reggae beat that you could imagine. I’m in the studio working with them and they were lending me ideas, and samples and basslines and all kind of craziness. And in addition to that, I had my own set-up in my basement…the SP-1200 is in full effect! …”](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2qqklns1O1rto0tjo1_500.png)
