| 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!
