I was reading an article the other day and I read that Keith Hudson was called "The Dark Prince of Reggae" so that led me to think about a.k.a.'s in Reggae, like Gregory Isaacs "Cool Ruler" or Jacob "Killer" Miller...
Any others?
PS: I have noticed that many MC's called the singer by the name of his most important hit
For example: Sammy "Mr M-16" Dread or Dawn "Mrs No No No" Penn, funny, insn't it?
BLESSED
