Irie Ites,
Need your input about this singer who recorded a very good album in 1982 "roots connection". Do you know if there are singles. I think he's american or at least he recorded there.
thanks for the info,
Jah Bless

Listening back to this album, it's a lot better than I thought.

Re: info needed about Raskidus
Ras Kiddus was one of Ras Michael's and the Sons of Negus' kit drummer on Love Thy Neighbor (picture of him on back cover)..
Son of a Slave is a serious roots album (unlike his newer projects which are badly in need of some serious direction)..Son of a Slave has members of The RASTAFARIANS of Santa Cruz (Herb Daly & Haile Maskell)..
A must for all collectors and lovers of Militant Reggae..
A great bredren who still tears it up live...
