Tapper Zukie - Raggy Joey Boy LP

Description:
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...
