Kangol Sound System ft Shabba Ranks, Pinchers, Professor Nuts, Lecturer, Major Mackerel 1987

Shabba Ranks was arguably the most popular dancehall toaster in the world. He was a massive crossover success in the U.S., thanks to an openly commercial hybrid of reggae and hip-hop, and also to prominent duet partners like Maxi Priest, Johnny Gill, and KRS-One. All of this brought him several hit singles and albums on the R&B charts in the early '90s, and made him the first dancehall artist to win a Grammy. Ranks' distinctive, booming growl of a voice earned him many imitators, and his s*x-obsessed lyrics -- while drawing criticism for their unrelenting "slackness" -- made him one of dancehall's hottest s*x symbols. Ranks' early success also helped pave the way for even bigger crossovers by artists like Shaggy and Sean Paul.

The Mackerel (born December 25, 1967) was a popular entertainer during the digital era of Jamaican dancehall music, most famous for his screeching sounds when he performed live or in studio. This style has also been adopted by female DJ Lady Mackerel, now known as Macka Diamond.
Major Mackerel has done his fair share of putting reggae on the map. He is known for hits such as "Pretty Looks Done", "Dutty Bungle", "Hot", "Inna Di Party" among other amazing songs.

Professor Nuts
Carl Wellington, c.1960, Portman, Jamaica, West Indies. Influenced by DJs including Yellowman and Nicodemus, Professor Nuts began his career as a DJ performing on the St. Catherine-based Love Child Sound System . In 1984 he held the position of top DJ in a national competition representing St. Catherine. In 1985 he earned kudos for his first professional stage show at the renowned Cinema Two located in Half Way Tree.

He gained a reputation for his comic approach to the dancehall, where he became known as Mr. Whobedeh and formed a partnership with the equally humorous Lecturer. In 1988, performing in his own right, he appeared alongside Josey Wales, Lieutenant Stitchie and Flourgon at the Reggae Sunsplash Festival dancehall night where his shenanigans were met with great approval. As a result he appeared alongside Tippa Lee, Rappa Robert and Pinchers. In 1990, he joined Papa San in a crucial showdown and survived the session to participate in a border clash with Louie Culture, Daddy Screw and the Ninja Kid.

His distinctive style led to a high profile in the reggae media although he was unable to build on his notoriety with a significant hit. In spite of his success, his recorded output was sporadic, although this situation was redressed with the release of Tan So Back and three singles in 1999, ‘Mama Have Her Own’, ‘Jamaican Girls’ and ‘Funny Guy’. His appeal is considered to be predominantly visual, and he has subsequently maintained a steady profile through dancehall videos. He has appeared alongside Jamaica’s top DJs including Beenie Man, Shabba Ranks, Ninjaman and singer Barrington Levy. In 1999, he teamed up with Dave ‘Rude Boy’ Kelly who employed him to perform in session on the ‘Bruk Out’ rhythm.

PINCHER
Born by the name of Delroy Thompson 12th of April 1965 in Jamaika Educated in the New Day-Primary- and Highschool in Kingston, it was in the age of 14 when he first got in contact with the music-scene listening to soundsystems from the local neighbourhood. He recorded his first single in 1986. Pinchers first came to England from Jamaicain 1985, he had already recorded an album for Blue Trac, alongside Peter Chemist. It was the release of "Abracadabra" that first won him significant attention. In 1987 he achieved a breakthrough with the compelling „Agony“, produced by King Jammy, as usual a album with the same titel followed.

After that he came up with minor hits for a variety of producers, including Philip "Fatis" Burrell and Red Man („Mass Out). The single to make the breakthrough, however, was "Agony". It quickly made him a minor celebrity in Jamaica, to the point where he was offered (and accepted) advertising endorsements from a local vineyard.

His other notable hits include "Bandolero' in the 90s, the wild west imagery of which neatly seduced the dancehall audience, whose preoccupation with guns and violence it echoed. The Album of the same name brought him back on top of the jamaican reggae-scene. However, Pinchers main source of fame continues to centre on sound system "specials", live appearances at which he excels, and on which he has built a considerable reputation as one of reggae's emerging stars.

Official Foundation: Jah Shaka Official Sound System 🆚 fatman international sound 🆚 Original Sir Coxsone Outernational LIVE at the Moonshot Community Centre, New Cross, London on 8 October 1993. 🔊🔊☝🏽

Jah Shaka
An enigmatic and highly individual performer on the UK sound system scene, Jah Shaka (his real name remains a mystery) came with his parents to the UK from Jamaica at the age of eight, settling in southeast London. Succumbing to his passion for music, he began his career a few years later in the late 60s, playing in a band and travelling around in an obscure local sound system named Freddie Cloudburst. Inspired spiritually by his interest in Rastafari, and consciously by the American Civil Rights movement (particularly such exponents of black awareness as Angela Davis and George Jackson), he began to assemble the equipment for his own sound, named after the great eighteenth-century Zulu, King Shaka, the ‘Black Napoleon’. From quite modest beginnings in the early 70s, by the end of the decade, Shaka’s sound had become one of the top three in the country, alongside such luminaries as Lloyd Coxsone and the Mighty Fatman, specializing in heavyweight, dubwise steppers material, and exclusive cuts on dubplates. However, whereas these and other sounds usually supported a team of selectors and DJs, Shaka performed all these functions alone, assisting in setting up the sound coming from a team of devoted youths for whom Shaka’s music was almost a way of life.

Sir Coxsone
In its heyday of the 70s and 80s, Sir Coxsone Sound System retained an insurmountable edge, thanks to the unbeatable tag-team of proprietor Lloydie Coxsone and his star selector, Festus, and an ever-changing crew of supporting members that kept the sound perpetually fresh and innovative. With an endless supply of superior dubplates sourced from top producers in Jamaica, augmented by some of their own productions cut with high-ranking music makers in the UK, Sir Coxsone was undeniably top of Britain’s sound system circuit. Their superior selection and the manner in which they presented it to the public gave Coxsone the kind of credibility that most other sounds were never able to achieve, leading to longstanding residencies at nightclubs in the fashionable West End.

Fatman
Based in the United Kingdom, Fatman Sound has been playing in reggae dancehalls since the late 60s, a true foundation in the reggae music industry Fatman Sound continues to entertain the reggae masses worldwide. Over the generations, Fatman Sound has become and remained a musical legend playing week in, and week out in some of the world's top reggae venues. The '70s and '80s saw a number of events featuring Fatman Sound System and a host of top reggae artists performing live on the set, including Jack Ruby, Johnny Osborne, Gregory Isaac, Errol Dunkley, Barrington Levy, U Brown & many more. In the sixties Fatman was the selector for a sound called 'Fanso The Tropical Downbeat', playing locally at parties and blues.

Official Garnett Silk Live Performance 1994

One of the most exciting young talents to arise out of the '80s dancehall scene, Garnet Silk- The Tribute began his career as a child toaster, but ended it as one of Jamaica's most astonishing singers; with a rich and emotive voice, he took the nation by storm. He seemed destined for international stardom, when his career was cut cruelly short by his death in 1994.

Born Garnett Damoin Smith in Jamaica's Manchester parish on April 2, 1966, the young DJ-to-be, had decided on his career choice as a small child. Encouraged by family and friends, Silk first took the stage at the Soul Remembrance sound system at the tender age of 12, under the moniker Little Bimbo. The tiny toaster so impressed the audience that he swiftly began DJ'ing regularly, first at Soul Remembrance, and then as the decade turned, at Pepper's Disco, Stereophonic, and then Destiny Outernational. It was at this latter sound system where the teen first met Tony Rebel, another Manchester native. Rebel was making a name for himself as a cultural toaster and went on to become a major influence on the dancehall scene, and on Little Bimbo himself. The DJ was still in his teens when he cut his first song, 1985's "Ram Dance Master"; he may have recorded others, but none have yet surfaced. It was another two years before Little Bimbo's debut single, "Problems Everywhere," appeared. Cut with producer Delroy Collins, the posthumous Journey album features not just the single, but an album's worth of material recorded by the two at this time.

Garnett Silk Meets the Conquering LionIn 1987, Little Bimbo linked up with Sugar Minott and recorded the "No Disrespect" single for the older man's Youth Promotion label. Coincidentally, Tony Rebel was at this time the star DJ for Minott's Youth Promotion sound system, and he and Little Bimbo immediately hooked back up. The pair began performing as a duo around the sound systems to much acclaim. The Garnett Silk Meets the Conquering Lion: A Dub Plate Selection album dates from about this time and features a clutch of exclusive recordings the DJ cut for the sound system from the mid-'80s through the end of the decade. Rebel, a Rastarfari, eventually converted Little Bimbo to his religion with the help of dub poet Yasus Afari, a close friend of both the DJs. If Rebel had a massive impact on Silk's religious beliefs and toasting themes, Derrick Morgan would have an equal impact on his career.

Tony Rebel Meets Garnett Silk in a Dancehall ConferenceIn 1989, the veteran singing star and producer brought Rebel and Little Bimbo into Bunny Lee's studio in Dunhaney Park to record the two both individually and as a duo. Morgan had one listen and sat Little Bimbo down and gave him some fatherly advice -- stop toasting and start singing. he Heartbeat label's Tony Rebel Meets Garnet Silk in a Dancehall Conference compiles these early Morgan-overseen recordings and captures Little Bimbo (and he was still known by that name at the time) at the crossroads of his career. Several of the tracks are pure toasts, others are somewhere in between, but when Little Bimbo sang, even though his delivery still has the clipped tones of dancehall, he was magnificent. His solo cover of "Killing Me Softly With Her Song" was heartbreaking in delivery, while "Help the Poor and Needy," a version of "A Little Oil in My Lamp," split between Rebel's rough toasts and Little Bimbo's fervid singing, was equally memorable.

Over the next year, the still-maturing singer cut a number of singles for a variety of producers -- King Tubby, Donovan Germain, and Prince/King Jammy amongst them -- before hooking up with Steely & Clevie in 1990. He inked a contract with the production team and recorded an album's worth of songs for them. However, only one, "We Can Be Together," a duet with Chevelle Franklin, was actually released, at least in the singer's lifetime. Discouraged, he returned to Manchester and threw himself into songwriting, often in partnership with an old friend, Anthony "Fire" Rochester.

Nothing Can Divide UsThe intervening period wasn't a total waste as he now had a sheaf of new songs and a new name. Besides the one single, Steely & Clevie had also convinced Little Bimbo to drop his old moniker and take up Garnett Silk instead; the silk, of course, referring to his smooth, silky tones. Another run-in with Tony Rebel brought an introduction to Courtney Cole, owner of the Roof International label. Silk would record a plethora of seminal songs at the producer's Ocho Rios studio, amongst them were the hits "Mama," "Seven Spanish Angels," and a phenomenal cover of the Johnny Nash classic "I Can See Clearly Now," the biggest smash of the group.

Mikayla Victoria Simpson (born 16 February 2000), better known as Koffee, is a Jamaican deejay/rapper, singer, and guitarist from Spanish Town, Jamaica.

In 2017 she released her first single, “Legend”, with just her vocals and acoustic guitar. A tribute to Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, the song became a viral Instagram hit.

She released five singles before signing with Columbia Records UK. Her December 2018 single “Raggamuffin” called out gun violence and governmental neglect of the youth. Koffee’s debut EP, Rapture, was released on the label on March 14, 2019. The video for single “Throne”, which debuted on The Fader on 22 January 2019, takes viewers on a tour through her hometown of Spanish Town.

Official YouTube Live Dancehall Music: Popcaan at Reggae Land Festival 2024

Don't forget to secure your tickets for the UK's biggest reggae festival in 2025 via ReggaeLand.com!
Reggae Land is a vibrant reggae festival held in Milton Keynes National Bowl. The festival features a diverse lineup of international and local artists across multiple stages, covering various reggae sub-genres such as roots reggae, dancehall, ska, and dub.

Andrae Hugh Sutherland, known the world over as Popcaan, started his life of musical excellence, years ago in St. Thomas, Jamaica, where the beloved entertainer was born on July 19th, 1988. Raised in a strict household under the keen eyes of his Grandparents, he had a strong moral compass instilled in him that to this day, is still used to guide his life.

Popcaan spent those early years sharpening his musical skills and focusing completely on the only career he ever wanted, a mind-set, which served him well when he moved to Portmore.

It was there in 2007, the artiste he admired the most, Portmore’s own Vybz Kartel, saw him perform at a talent show and invited him to be a part of Kartel’s famous group, Portmore Empire.

Kartel then readily stepped into the role of being Popcaan’s producer and mentor, introducing him at major shows such as Sting and Reggae Sumfest. Memorable singles “Street Vybz”, “Vision”, “No Ordinary Girl”, along with “Gal Wine” from the Gal Farm Riddim, as well as countless additional tracks, enchanted the airwaves soon after. These tracks tuned young fans into his emerging sound as they easily identified with his unique style and energy.

Then came the unstoppable juggernaut, “Clark’s” ft Vybz Kartel and Popcaan. This global hit cemented the young artiste’s career in dancehall, giving Sutherland Excellence in Music and Entertainment (EME) Awards for ‘Best New Artist’, and ‘Collaboration of the Year’, while the song itself was named ‘Song of the Year – Dancehall’.

It was therefore no surprise when in 2014, through his multi-album deal with Mixpak Records, his debut album was released and entered the Billboard Top Reggae Albums Chart at Number 2.
Since then the accolades and awards have simply rolled in.

Popcaan has appeared on the cover of The Fader, obtained four consecutive nominations for MOBO Awards, two of which he won in 2015 and 2016, among other tremendous honours.

During this time he has also built an impressive portfolio, working with and being featured on major projects with renowned artistes and producers such as, Drake, Young Thug, Jamie XX, Kanye West, Chaka Khan, Snoop Dogg, Pusha T, Travis Scott, Luna George, Giggs, JHus, and Jay Z to name a few. Not to mention his recent monster hit “Saturnz Barz”, with the English virtual band, Gorillaz, which resulted in him being the only Jamaican artiste to be listed on Rolling Stone’s 50 Best Songs of the Year for 2017.

Moreover Popcaan has toured the world, sending audiences into an uproar in the Caribbean, Europe, The United Arab Emirates, and South America.

One tour though stood out against the rest. On the heels of his feature on a leaked version of Drake’s global hit “Controlla”, Popcaan was asked by the Hip-Hop mogul to be the opening act for his Boy Meets World tour in 2017.

Today the sky itself can no longer limit this gifted star. He has all ears and eyes trained on him, as the world of music breathlessly anticipates what this one of a kind talent will share with us next.

Official YouTube Live Reggae Music: Shabba Ranks at Reggae Land Festival 2024

Don't forget to secure your tickets for the UK's biggest reggae festival in 2025 via ReggaeLandcom!
Reggae Land is a vibrant reggae festival held in Milton Keynes National Bowl. The festival features a diverse lineup of international and local artists across multiple stages, covering various reggae sub-genres such as roots reggae, dancehall, ska, and dub.

Shabba Ranks (born Rexton Rawlston Fernando Gordon on 17 January 1966, in Sturgetown, St Ann's, Jamaica) is known as one of the most popular dancehall artists ever. Ranks gained his fame mainly by practicing dee jaying rather than singing tunes similarly to his contemporaries.

Starting out on the King Jammys Superpower sound system in Jamaica, Shabba quickly emerged on the Jamaican and international stages in the late 1980's with a number of fellow artists. These include the British vocalist Maxi Priest; reggae singers Cocoa Tea, Crystal, and Mykal Rose and R&B singer Johnny Gill; in addition to working with luminaries Chuck Berry and American rappers KRS-One and Chubb Rock. His biggest hit non-Jamaican hit was "Mr. Loverman", although in Jamaica and for many reggae lovers, this was not his best work. Other, more appreciated tracks by reggae enthusiasts, include "Respect", "Pirates Anthem", "Trailor Load A Girls", "Wicked in Bed", "Caan Dun", and "Ting A Ling".

He won back-to-back Grammy awards in the Reggae category in 1991 & 1992, the first dancehall deejay to do so. He also

His later reputation was badly damaged by his explicitly homophobic views and lyrics. This was evidenced by a particularly notorious incident on the Channel 4 programme 'The Word' where he appeared to advocate the crucifixion of homos*xuals and was condemned for his comments by presenter Mark Lamarr.

Following this episode, and subsequent negative media coverage, his career never fully recovered. He was eventually dropped by his American record label, Epic Records, in 1996. Anti-homos*xuality is a common viewpoint in the reggae-dancehall community in Jamaica; Shabba Ranks is not the only artist to have referred to such matters in song. Later reggae artists that have come under criticism for their homophobic views include Buju Banton, Beenie Man, Elephant Man, and Sizzla.

Sanchez Jackson is one of the all time favorite singer/performer who transforms his audience into a mass choir at his live performances. He epitomizes elegance and style and is always splendidly attired in a formal suit, enhanced with gold chains and bracelets, giving fans the ultimate in appearance and presentation. His selection of songs range from soulful R&B to hardcore Dancehall, Reggae, balanced with religiously calming cuts that enhance the spiritual vibes of his act.
Entertainment writer, Howard Hendricks, describes Sanchez’s voice as "a supernatural gift from a loving God that can out sing any Nightingale, and he possesses one of the sweetest male voices in popular music".

At a recent concert at the Hard Rock Cafe, Disney World in Orlando, Florida, Sanchez hit the stage dapper-style, in white shoes, a white three-piece suit and white felt hat. His impeccable performance matched his immaculate attire.. The consummate lovers’ rock exponent, whose fan base is predominantly female, tore down the place, while he was entertaining a full house. That is indeed the norm for this singer who says "I love music to the max." Sanchez's strong church background is evident in his delivery of the song 'Amazing Grace'

Born on November 30, 1964 in Kingston, Jamaica and christened Kevin Anthony Jackson, Sanchez grew up with his Mother, Father, two brothers and two sisters, in the Stony Hill and Waterford Communities under strong Christian

principles. He says, "I had to go to church every Sunday and often during the week as well. I was a member of the Rehoboth Apostolic Church junior choir and later the senior choir where I was the lead singer. I just love singing and going to church. However, when I started to attend St. Andrew Technical High School, I started hanging out with a new set of friends, things began to change and we would go to parties where sound systems like Rambo, Small Ax and Crystal would play. I really began to like the music and went through a period of conflict which later resulted in me drifting from the church."

The former choir leader became a selector for the Rambo Sound system; a system on which many of his close DJ colleagues such as Flourigan, Lizard and Red Dragon also worked out. (By this time, he had been renamed Sanchez by his friends. and soccer team mates because of a highly skilled pass he made that was reminiscent of the great Brazilian soccer star Hugo Sanchez). As he gradually moved on to singing at these parties/sessions, the response he received was encouraging.
Sanchez soon began voicing for some of the top record producers in the business: Red Man, Winston Riley and Fattis Burrell. In 1987, Sanchez’s first single "Lady In Red" was released; soaring to the # 19 slot on JBC Radio record chart and that was very encouraging for young Sanchez. "It was a great feeling to hear my song playing on the radio."

His first hit, the Winston Riley produced, 'Loneliness,' recorded in 1988, is still one of his biggest hits. In that same year, he was voted Singer of the Year, Best Up and Coming and Best New Artist by Rockers and Bins awards respectively. 'Loneliness' was also voted Song of the Year, and this led him to his first appearance at Reggae Sunsplash. Since Loneliness, Sanchez has scored with big hits such as, "Wild Sanchez", "Love Mi Lover Bad"(a combination with DJ Florigan), "Fall In Love," "If I Ever Fall In Love Again," "Pretty Girl," "One In A Million," "Hello," 'Amazing Grace,' and "Frenzy.” Frenzy won for Sanchez the 2002 songwriter of the year award from The Martin International Awards.
Sanchez most recent achievements are: An Award from Authentic Real Music in recognition of Sanchez's 20th year in Reggae Music. Award from Sanchez's UK Fan Club, for being an excelent Reggae ambassador to the world.

Tarrus Riley born Omar Riley in Bronx, New York, is a promising reggae singer and songwriter. His early years were spent in music studios and traveling the world with his dad. He picked up something special along the way. He is a songwriter of uncommon intelligence, breadth with a deft touch. His emotional and spiritual IQ matches his heartfelt sincerity. As a singer, his vocal style is reassuring. It conveys his every mood, concern and context eloquently. His songwriting is bold, yet definitive, passionate and authentic, without being strident or overly militant. Except for the same surname, Tarrus, while clearly not possessing his famous father's voice with its sharp edge, is content musically to create his own legacy.

Riley is the son of veteran singer Jimmy Riley and nurse Lavern Tatham-Riley. He was born in the Bronx and grew up in South Florida. He began his musical career as a deejay working with Busta Rhymes, taking his birth sign as his stage name at his mother's suggestion (the spelling later changed from Ta**us to Tarrus), and recorded his first singles for his father's Love & Promotion label. He was guided in his early career by Dean Fraser, who also performs in his band and produces much of Riley's work.

Riley has released three albums, Challenges (2004), Parables (2006), and Contagious (2009). Contagious features guest appearances from Damian Marley, Vybz Kartel, Etana, Konshens, Demarco and Duane Stephenson. His commercial breakthrough came in 2006 with the Parables album and the Jamaican number one single "She's Royal".

Riley was awarded the Reggae Runnins Caribbean Heritage Award at the 2009 HOT 105 FM Caribbean-American Heritage Awards. He was nominated in the Best Reggae category of the 2009 MOBO Awards.
