Yellowman - Just Cool
Posted 29 April, 2008 | Comments: 0
To refresh my mind I just browsed Roots Archives to check the albums Yellowman recorded in the early Eighties. I counted 14 albums in the 1982 list, the first year Yellowman's LPs were released. Yes, I did say 14! About half of them have been performed together with DJ-brother Fathead and some of them in combination with other DJs. Just ...

Kiddus I belongs to the second category even if he was briefly in the spotlight for the famous 'Rockers' movie soundtrack song: 'Graduation in Zion'; the title track of this release. We have been waiting since the 70s for a ...
