does anyone know much about peter king or papa benjie who starred on the great british mcs lp in the 80s? what records did they put out please??

i used to have couple of dem records

2 by peter king "Step On The Gas (12 inch)'' on Sleng Teng Riddim, Fashion 12''

& peter king "Ten Commandments Of An M.C. (12 inch)" on the Lecturer also Fashion 12''

both a dem wikkidd.

especially "Ten Commandments Of An M.C."

For papa benjie

i had this one tune called "london a fi mi city" wikkid tune......

On Rusty 12'' B side To Little John's "Its Me" Release Inna 83' UK press think....

Anyway, dem all wikkid tunes,

JAH BLESS

ten commandments of an mc sounds fantastic, if its as good as me neat me sweet itll be excellent indeed.

Sean, nice rich topic. and Trevor, tremendous. From here the UK Bubblers record by Lesley Lyrics call 'Blind Date' is just the funniest on Creation. Clearly English toasters took up the baton and finished the dj race from the mid 80's. and Macka B, what an enormous talent, never a mindless moment.

thanks utodd.macka b is very under rated and highly understated in general but he must surely have a very big fan base too..cos his lyrics have remained top notch for 23 years, very rarely do you even find a hint of slackness, just roots and culture with a very witty take on life in uk in particular

macka B - Gentleman With Manners

Macka B - Jamacian

Macka B - Bible Reader

I&I Fav Macka B tunes...

JAH BLESS

"im a gentleman with manners
of that theres no doubt
yes im a gentleman with manners
of that theres no doubt"
"if someone offer me meat i would say
thank you but no
i,ll always say sorry if me step on your toe "
