August 23, 2008 is a date that dancehall DJ Spragga Benz will not find easy to erase from his memory. It was the day he was greeted with the shocking news that his son Carlton Grant Jr aka Carlisle was shot and killed by the police.

Somehow, the DJ found the strength to do what he must in ensuring that everything that had to be done was carried out. With a philosophical smile Spragga told Observer that breaking down was just not an option.
