Little Roy - Tribal War Live & Direct at #YouTube

Little Roy, born Earl Lowe in Kingston, was the first artist to top the Jamaican chart with an overtly Rasta tune – Bongo Nyah – in 1969. His songs have been versioned repeatedly through the dancehall era – his Tribal War was even used on Nas and Damian Marley’s Distant Relatives album – but he has yet to crash the mainstream himself.

Roy appeared on both Fatty’s albums and, with hindsight, it’s easy to see why Mr Pelanconi chose him for this project. In addition to his obvious talents his voice has a similar grain to that of Kurt Cobain.

His bleak life and lyrics aside, Cobain’s songwriting gave an uplifting quality to Nirvana’s music. And this quality translates perfectly to a series of sprightly vintage rhythms played by Ruff Cutt band's Bubblers, The Wailers’ Junior Marvin, Fatty mainstay Horseman and Leroy ‘Mafia’ Heywood – a central force behind Roy’s excellent previous album, Heat. The arrangements, though actually by Mutant Hi-Fi, are classic Fatty: swirling organs, softly parping horns, and Ark-era Lee Perry-style backing vocals.

Many Thanks to Earl 'Little Roy' Lowe & Bo Mac also my Production Team.

Respect in every Aspect.

He started deejaying at the age of 14 at house parties and then on the Buchanan Sound System along with his sparring partner Smiley Culture. Together they went on to deejay on sounds such as Black Harmony and Frontline before joining Coxsone Outernational and most famously Saxon Studio International in the early to mid 80's.

Asher Senators inspiration as a deejay came from deejays such as Brigadier Jerry and Nicodemus who they often heard through sound tapes. His first single was »Abbreviation Qualification« b/w »Fast Style Origination« released on Fashion in 1984. It was voiced and mixed at the A-Class Dub Studio that was located underDub Vendor at Lavender Hill. »Fast Style Origination« told the tale of the Fast Chat style originated by fellow Saxon deejay Peter King.

Peter King started deejaying in 1982 and was soon a regular on Saxon Sound System. In 1982 he originated what came to be the fast chat style, showcasing it on his record »Me Neat, Me Sweet« (1984). This style of deejaying was an English, groundbreaking and new way of deejaying that soon (with the help of Papa Levi) came to rule even the charts of Jamaica.

General Levy - Exclusive Interview at #YouTube

General Levy is an English ragga deejay, regularly employed on studio tracks by drum and bass DJs. He is best known for the track "Incredible" which he recorded with M-Beat. A remixed version of this reached number 8 in the UK Singles Chart in 1994.
General Levy's first major releases were with the independent record label, Fashion Records, who signed a distribution deal with London Records for the re-releases of the tracks he had recorded. He had earlier releases with the record producers Lloydy Crucial and Robbo Ranx (later of BBC 1xtra), but these were mainly tracks that were hits on the underground dancehall scene. General Levy was ostracized by the UK jungle scene in 1994, due to comments he made relating to his collaboration with M-Beat on "Incredible".
