Encountered a number of heartaches throughout his lifetime. As a young teen, I know alot of us WHO are now in our 30s also have fond memories of the DJ
Born in 1966 in Spanish Town, he was raised by his Rastafarian grandmother and began performing with sound systems (including Black Scorpio and Creation) in the late 1970s. He won the Tastee Talent contest in 1981. He went on to become one of the major dancehall artists of the late 1980s and 1990s.
His brother and fellow deejay Dirtsman was murderedin 1993. In the three years that followed his sister was killed in a motorcycle accident, his cousin was killed by police, and he himself had legal problems after being arrested on weapons charges. He turned to Christianity in 1997. This is also reflected in his style, as he started off as a true dancehall deejay, later adopting traits of Gospel and Christian music.
His newest single released in JANUARY 2014, ENTITLED: GET RIGHT- not only displays his lyrical talent, which he obviously hasnt lost- but I also think that dancehall is in need of some GOSPEL REVIVAL. Without God we are lost- Check the nonsense dance moves & RAW sexual madness floating pon di dancehall scene nowadays. Kmt.
I CANT WAIT TO GET THIS INTERVIEW.
