The Kingston, Jamaica born, Lincoln "Sugar" Barrington Minott is one of the great figures of Reggae music, and is fully justified to carry the status as the "Godfather of Dancehall". In the early 1970's Sugar Minott went to Studio One Recording Studios.
By laying vocal tracks over the original tapes from the 60's, rather than using a live band, he caused a revolution in the sound that brought a new style to Reggae music--Dancehall. Sugar started his musical journey by entering talent contests in his youth. After he finished school he began selling records and formed his own sound system Black Roots, which was eventually to develop into the mighty Youthman Promotion. In 1969 Sugar became part of the African Brothers, dropping several successful singles that were an early example of the Rastafari movement's influence on the Jamaican music scene...

(Jamaica) The tragic passing of Dennis Brown in 1999 left an unfillable hole in the world of reggae, but, while no one can replace him, several younger artists continue to carry on his vibe. One that you may not have heard is Katt I (AKA Alston "Delroy" Burton), a Jamaican crooner who has worked his way up from the hotel circuit to the opening act for major stars like Michael Rose, Mutabaruka, and Toots and the Maytals. Katt's uncanny, smooth vocals often sound so similar to the Crown Prince of Reggae, you may have to rewind and listen again. Appropriately enough, Katt covers Brown's "World Is Troubled," and he does so with confidence and aptitude (and with an R&B flair).

The single went on to hit 5 on the reggae charts in New York and did very well in other states and Europe.

As a roots and culture dancehall artist, Culture Brown's lyrical content often sheds light on today's world issues and gives hope for a better tomorrow. His promotion of equal rights and justice for all is clearly demonstrated in the lyrics of his track "Here To Love" when he says 'I'm here to love, not here to judge?.' He stands firmly behind his lyrics as he extends his hand in friendship no matter what age, race, or sex. Culture Brown's musical journey has taken him as far as St. Lucia, England, Canada, and in his homeland Jamaica where he opened his own protools studio, The Culture Brown Recording Studio, in Westmoreland. He has since also started up his own independent label Akeel Records.
