NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION |
| WWW,
August 2014 - To say that Prince Jazzbo is a
legendary toaster who started recording for
Studio One and Black Ark, is to ignore the
fact that he is an acclaimed producer as
well. Although his body passed away in 2013,
we're fortunate to have recordings by this
remarkable Jamaican Reggae artist and
producer.
Born in Clarendon Parish, Jamaica and raised in Kingston, Linval Roy Carter (who would become known professionally as Prince Jazzbo) began his career with sound systems such as The Whip in Spanish Town. He began recording with Coxsone Dodd's Studio One label in the early 1970s under the name Prince Jazzbo, and also recorded for Glen Brown and Lee "Scratch" Perry. He went on to work on his own releases with Bunny Lee, producing as well in collaboration with many artists as a vocalist and producer for labels including his own, Ujama. The Perry-produced album Super Ape featured Jazzbo toasting on "Croaking Lizard". Jazzbo and fellow toaster I-Roy had a well reported, but friendly and mutually beneficial on-record clash during 1975, including the cuts "Straight to Jazzbo's Head" from I-Roy and the retort, "Straight to I-Roy's Head" from Prince Jazzbo.
Prince Jazzbo's early work with Clement "Coxsone" Dodd at Studio One produced several hits in 1972-1974 including: "School", "Fool For Love" and "Imperial I". His first hit in 1972 with Coxsone though was a version of Horace Andy's "Skylarking", which he re-worked as "Crabwalking". He ran the Ujama record label for many years.

MESSIAN
DREAD PRESENTS A HEAVYWEIGHT DUBWISE
SELECTION WITHOUT OBJECTION |
| WWW,
August 2014 -It's been close to a decade
since Messian Dread's album
"Showcase" was released and it has
been years since the Dubroom released
anything of significance out of the studio.
Now that quite a number of singles and EP's
have been released this year, the time has
come to present Messian Dread's first full
length Dub album since ages and what an
album it is: twelve top Dub shots featuring
a host of legendary and skillful vocalists
and much more.
Those who
have been reading or following the Dubroom
throughout the years, will know about the
fact that after releasing countless of
singles and albums in his very specific
sound, Messian Dread was "completely
finished". This year 2014, however,
saw the Dubroom productions in quite a new
sound to the surprise of some. In May,
someone wrote: "Messian
Dread make new Dub? I thought you were
through you said on Dubroom?" as a
comment on the first release in that new
sound.
