{"title":"Yellowman","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKing Yellowman, born in 1956 in Jamaica, has an incredible history in Reggae music. Overcoming obstacles such as being albino in Jamaica and growing up at the Maxfield Home orphanage in Kingston, he became one of the biggest reggae artists since Bob Marley. Yellowman's boastful and bodacious lyrics, combined with his ability to ride rhythm and excite a crowd, made him an instant hit in Jamaica. He worked with various producers throughout his career, releasing multiple albums per year and eventually signing a recording contract with CBS Records. Despite being diagnosed with jaw cancer and given six months to live, Yellowman made a remarkable comeback and continues to deliver lively performances filled with unlimited stage energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rudest Dancehall toaster of the 1980s, Jamaica's albino son Yellowman made as many enemies as fans with his controversial lyrics.

And as different as these four DJs were, they did share one thing in common, studio time with producer Henry \"Junjo\" Lawes, the man behind some of their greatest recordings. \u003ci\u003eMister Yellowman\u003c\/i\u003e was the DJ's first album with Lawes, and remains one of his best. Backed by the seminal Roots Radics and Earl \"Chinna\" Smith's Hi Times band, the deep roots that both created were further finessed by Lawes into a simmering stew of dancehall-inflected rhythms shot through with dub. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThematically, Yellowman drifted between boasts about his appeal to the opposite sex and vignettes on everyday life, many delivered with a sly humor that was the secret to his success. The Jamaican hit \"Mr. Chin\" would bring the PC police to his door today, but the DJ's complaints about the neighborhood Asian grocer (while simultaneously seducing his daughter) tickled Jamaicans. His pathos on \"Lost Mi Love\" is tempered by the fact that his love ran off for the night with \"a boss DJ,\" which is precisely the fate Yellowman himself planned for every one of his female fans. Most entertaining of all is \"Yellowman Getting Married,\" a wild medley that promotes the DJ as the perfect husband, one who'll even mind the baby. Even an everyday event, like riding to work, was grist for his lyrical mill, and be it instructing listeners on how to run a dance or taking on violence, Yellowman spoke directly to the lives of regular Jamaicans while effortlessly riding the rootsy rhythms. Today overshadowed by many of his contemporaries, Mister sets the record straight; a masterly DJ set that just can't be beat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greensleeves","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":50479867920715,"sku":"371424","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50479870312779,"sku":"1159197","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/9f00755b-ea35-4d2b-bdac-29df63d697be_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727512372"},{"product_id":"king-yellowman","title":"King Yellowman","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKing Yellowman\u003c\/i\u003e is the 1984 Columbia Records debut album by Yellowman.
