Tapper Zukie - Raggy Joey Boy LP
SKU: KSLP024 OverviewDescription:
Tapper Zukie has risen through the DJ ranks of Jamaica to become
one of its most successful exports. Massive hits in his
homeland have also crossed over to the UK market where he has built
a loyal and trusted following
The calling to reignite his own career would see him building up an
albums worth of his own material based around the title track
'Raggy Joey Boy'. A song telling it like it is and trying to get
out of the ghetto. The story rang true with many and become another
hit for Mr Zukie. Spurred on by the tracks momentum Tapper began
building an album around its centre core and other fine examples of
his talent can be found on such cuts as the timeless 'Natty
Princess', 'Mr Bubbler' and 'Mr Finnigan'. The opening track the
somewhat boastful 'Women Ah No Me Problem' only goes to show how
ahead of his time Tapper was. As it seems to be the recurring theme
to many of the multi - Platinum acts that attack the charts these
days only they don't seem to say it with such charm. Putting this
alongside the more serious ghetto stories (again copied but never
really bettered by todays artists) it lead to this original 1982
released album.
This fine collection remind us all what a great album it was and
where Mr Tapper Zukie was at musically speaking, way back in the
summer of 1982. So their you have it a classic back to be testified
one more time...
