One of the most musically and lyrically influential people in the history of Jamaican music was Prince Buster. He first sought to incorporate hand drumming into the ska beat and singularly defined topical discussions through the medium, mostly focusing on relationships and occurrences around Kingston. And even as he does maintain a relatively high profile, even today, you may know him better through the work of others.

Much like Price Buster, Judge Dread did some time as a professional boxer. His intimidating personage served to prove any threats made through his music. But it also made him something of skinhead icon. After hearing Buster’s “Big Five,” Dread saw fit to write and record “Big Six.” The off color and at the time scandalous lyrical content of not just that song, but a great deal of his catalog served to get most of his work censored at the time.
