Shinehead (born Edmund Carl Aiken, April 10, 1962, Kent, England) is an English-born Jamaican reggae singer/toaster/rapper.

He began his music career by performing for different New York reggae dancehall sound systems in the 1980s, most notably Tony Screw’s Downbeat The Ruler, based in The Bronx.

His recording debut was in 1986 on the African Love Music independent record label with “Who The Cap Fits (Let Them Wear It)” from the album Rough & Rugged. In his early years, Jeff Buckley led his group on guitar and lent a hand with backing vocals.

Shinehead was signed to a recording contract by Artist & Repertoire Representative Raoul Roach with Elektra Records in 1988, and remained with them until 1995.

His best known single was the cover version of Sting‘s “Englishman In New York“, re-titled as “Jamaican In New York” (1993). It reached #30 in the UK Singles Chart in April 1993.[1] Thesingle featured on the Sidewalk University album.

He is largely credited as being one of the original acts to cross hip-hop with reggae music, now known as reggae fusion, with songs such as “Try My Love” in 1992.[2]

In tribute to the lives and careers of the most adored artists in reggae music history, and in celebration of Reggae Month and Black History Month, Highlanda Sound will spotlight and feature the music of “The Legend,” Bob Marley, and “The Crown Prince,” Dennis Brown on the Reggae Vault Classics radio show.

From a child prodigy to the elevation of the Crown Prince of Reggae, Dennis Emanuel Brown undoubtedly developed a commanding and durable sound that made him one of Jamaica‘s most popular artistes of all times. Monday marked the 53rd birthday of this amazing singer who was born on February 1, 1959, and made his journey to the ‘Promised Land’, 11 years ago on July 1, 1999, at 40 years of age.

Bob Marley was undoubtedly the most influential Jamaican musician of all time. Robert Nesta Marley was born on the 6th of February 1945 in the Saint Ann Parish of Jamaica. He was the lead singer, songwriter and guitarist for the ska, rocksteady and reggae bands The Wailers (1964–1974) and Bob Marley & The Wailers (1974–1981). Bob Marley died at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami on the morning of May 11, 1981, at the age of 36.

Today, tune in for REGGAE VAULT CLASSICS, a live full stereo radio format music orientated program designed to spotlight strictly the best of the best music from the great artists in reggae and dancehall music genres. The show streams live on Wednesdays from 7:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. EST on www.daflavaradio.com, and is accessible via computer, iphone, and Blackberry.

Paying Tribute to the Crown Prince – Reggae Vault Classics 17

by reggae • Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

This is the latest episode of the syndicated Reggae Vault Classics podcast produced by Kahlil Wonda of Highlanda Sound for the week of April 20, 2009 featuring classic reggae music in a DJ mixed format with no talking.

Dennis Emmanuel Brown (February 1, 1957 – July 1, 1999) recorded more than 75 albums and was one of the pioneers of the lovers rock sub-genre of reggae. Bob Marley cited Brown as his favorite singer, and dubbed him “The Crown Prince of Reggae.” D. Brown also is my favorite singer of all time so in tribute I have compiled a mix consisting of 20 songs. The subject matter of the selected music here is varied and some tracks were commercially successful, whereas some are old dusty vault classics that give me goosebumps and I wanted to feature. This is only part 1, so fans of the Crown Prince please make sure to download this one and subscribe to the podcast for automatic updates.

Right Click the file and select “Save As…” to download the entire mp3 file or just click to listen to the audio stream now. We sincerely hope you enjoy the selections and mixing. Please send your comments, feedback, and requests to podcast@highlanda.net or feel free to comment here.

Episode 16 is all about pure lovers rock that you don’t hear everyday and as always I tried to stay away from songs that you can hear in any of the previous 15 Reggae Vault Classics shows on Highlanda.net. There are some nice blends between songs and a nice flow from Dennis Brown’s Silhouette at the top to the finale, Rockaway performed by Beres Hammond.

Reggae Vault Classics 15

This is the latest episode of the syndicated Reggae Vault Classics podcast produced by Kahlil Wonda of Highlanda Sound for the week of April 13, 2009 featuring classic reggae music in a DJ mixed format with no talking.

The Crown Prince of Reggae himself, the late Mr. Dennis Emmanuel Brown kicks off this week’s freestyle mix with Whip Them Jah, Here I Come, and Money In My Pocket. Since last week’s show was devoted to the music of just one artist, I wanted to make sure I covered all other bases this time around. Therefore, this week’s episode features all singers and gives you some Studio One selections, but also includes labels like Trojan Records, Joe Gibbs, and Techniques. The playlist spans from the 1960s with original John Holt, Derrick Morgan, and Sugar Minott through the 1990s with Buju Banton, Beenie Man, and Terry Ganzie. There’s even a bonus mix of Highlanda dubplate specials for the dubplate fans. Hopefully you will want this one to be stored safely in your Ipod where you can listen and share with others.

Right Click the file link and select “Save As…” to download the entire mp3 file or just click to listen to the audio stream now. We sincerely hope you enjoy the selections and mixing. Please send your comments, feedback, and requests to podcast@highlanda.net or feel free to comment right here.
