yo buju just release a track on the volcano 3 blind mice with new kidz weh sound like the old yello /fat head combos, me no lie - a classic already. gargamel gwan like yello and new kidz like fathead. lissten it!

[eric z]

For real! Those Yellow/ Fathead combinations were tight. By the way did Fathead ever have a solo album or an album where he was the focal artist.

[robe619]

Never had a solo album only singles.

In early 1987 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Fathead was shot dead and killed in his home while sleeping. 2 gunmen were said to have been involved
What follows is a 4 march 1993 Reggae Directory interview with yellowman as he discussed his old sidekick

Clash LP : FATHEAD / PETER METRO ( abbissa label )

[kalcidis]

Would like to know more about that Fathead & Peter Metro album on Absissa. I've got an album called »Yellowman & Fathead meets Peter Metro« on Absissa. Is it the one you refer to or another.
