Born in 1957. Jamaican singer, who rode to success on the first wave of digital ragga working with [a=King Jammy]. He's probably best known for the dancehall version of the traditional Jamaican tune "Hog In A Minty" but "Sweet Reggae Music" and "Good Morning Teacher" were also significant successes
He moved to New York in the late 80s, but was shot dead in June 1991 in a murky incident outside a Brooklyn Record Shop
