| Sugar
Lincoln Minott can be considered the father
of the rub a dub, the 80's dancehall that
brought us superstars like Barrington Levy,
Tristan Palma and Linvall Thompson.
His sound system Youth Promotion brought
us many singers and deejay's. Sugar is known
for his loyalty to the sufferers. He refused
big album contracts because he did not want
to leave his bredrin and sistren in the
ghetto.
He got into trouble with the churches
because he did not want to leave the ghetto.
Sugar's sweet voice masters almost any
riddim and any style within reggae.
This CD, "Ghetto Child"
contains a series of vocals with their
versions. The music is pretty modern, but it
is no Ragga, still roots rub a dub.
His love for the Messiah is beautifully
expressed in the song called Sweet Jesus and
if you want some good advice on smoking herb
you should also listen to Dreadlock's
Chalice in which Sugar explains that it is
best if you don't smoke at all, but if you
want to smoke something, it is best to take
a sip from the dreadlocks chalice, because
all the other drugs will certainly harm you!
Sugar has no locks upon his head,
otherwise he would also be a Jesus Dread,
like Yabby You and Willy Williams.
For a joyful conscious noise, check out
this CD!
