Right now, mi elbow and shoulder fractured and behind mi ears swell up, but mi grateful to be alive," he said.

Ras Goldy recently released an EP called Beware of Bad Lion, which features five songs by producers such as DJ Blizzard, Kantriman and Strike Gold Records.

One of the songs is a combination with reggae star Richie Spice. He will be releasing a video for the single, Eye Red on the Gold Rush rhythm, which is available on iTunes.

Ras Goldy is best known for the combination hit song with Chronixx called Mini, where the artistes extol the virtues of women in short skirts. The single samples an original song recorded by Ras Goldy's father, Willie Francis Oh What a Mini, which soared to number one position in the 1970s.
