“The slow and laborious task of convincing those on the other side of the social divide to acknowledge our presence could have been even more painful if it wasn’t for the help of a lot of people I share the vision of a positively ghetto accommodative society with. The grandest acknowledgement however must be reserved for all the special people, the poor people, whose cause I will continue to be devoted to positively."
The above statement was spoken by Winky D immediately after news of his 3 NAMA nominations was announced. This nomination should be attributed to his artistic resolve to be the stranger to a world dominated by popular culture which he felt was not perspicacious in light of the experiences of the poor people. His well-deserved meteoric rise to the artiste he is today should be mainly viewed in respect of his ability to unveil the deepest poor people's mysteries and firm resolve to state the truth regardless of the consequences.

The compelling potent power of expression through poverty-biting and poverty-protesting lyrics is imbued with irresistible legitimacy and authority which to most people is self-assertion vital to the meaningful struggle for the elevation of social standards of the ghetto people and a gateway out of suffering and ignominy.
