The 7 Star General is known for leaving a mark on viewers/listeners after every interview he does. Whether its uncontrollable laughter, confusion, or a deeper insight into his 'sobolious' life! One way or another, he's a character you just can't ignore..after all your walls have been covered in his graffiti for quite some time. Datmad has come across a recent interview with La Lewis and The Observer's Teenage and decided to share with our readers who have not yet seen this interview.

Known for his graffiti, his creative vocabulary and his adventurous tales, LA Lewis comfortably traipsed into our editorial meeting one Saturday afternoon for our much-anticipated interview.

This wasn't a normal interview either. In fact, it was conducted by the entire TEENage Writers' Club, a feat that has never been done in TEENage history.

Not surprisingly, he was decked out in all-white attire. Known for his many eccentricities, the 'Seven Star General' was accompanied by his golden elephant - a gift from an Indian lady merchant.

Curious about his vocabulary, TEENage writers asked that he define the meanings of some of his unique words, including 'insaniality' (feeling more than love); 'hognorious' (being hoggish); 'disbehave' (going overboard with it); and 'sobolious' (bold; great).
When asked to describe himself, his confident response was 'multi-talented. pure!' He continued by saying, 'I am an idea; I just happen, then I just sell! People gravitate to me and what I think.' He later compared his net worth to that of a diamond - priceless.
The infamous vandal has more to his name than just creativity. Having gone to St Albam Primary, Boys'

Town All-Age and Denham Town High, he then went on do a course in money management and entrepreneurship.

Stating that he is an entertainer/artiste by profes-sion, he told TEENage that his self-titled business - LA Lewis Enterprise - is the first company in Jamaica to do almost everything, including his clothing line and his work in music production, with hits like All Dem Deh by the late Mr Wacky, Gerald 'Bogle' Levy. One of his most recent projects was his feature on the recent Twins of Twins CD as himself.

Also recent was his legal troubles, while he considers a mere experience for 2009. He went on to say that the legal trouble was 'all because of bad mind' and that our problem in Jamaica is that people always fighting out people because they can't accept a change, and right now, LA Lewis is a change.

He gave us, as young journalists, advice - saying that it's more important to find the truth first then to find the hype. "The greatest journalists never pick a side; you have to be neutral and get both sides of the story."

With idols like the late Michael Jackson, the Titan Gods, Marcus Garvey, Bob Marley and Queen Elizabeth, he continued to enlighten us with LA Lewis philosophy. He mentioned that to be the greatest you have to idolise the greatest. He went on to say that it is important to learn from even the small people because anybody can teach you.

LA Lewis was asked if he had any advice or words of wisdom to give our TEENage readers.

In response he said, "The future is you; keep on believing in yourself, and don't mek nobody tek you for fool. stay in school and most important save sex for when you older!"
