big up mi brethen!!Why nobodies talks about turbo belly's tunes?? This artist is like an anonym for many people and sound system, also he's got a bad man voice!!! do u know some tunes?

Probably because RA scoop area is 1970-85.
Turbo Belly's digital recordings I know are from the periode behind 85.

I used to play some Turbo Belly back in the early-mid nineties. He had some good tunes, in a Capleton kind of style. Haven't heard anything from him since then. Do you know some tunes?

What do you mean he's an anonym? Like more than one person use that name? Or he imitates many different artists? Or what?

I have an album call "judgement day" produced in 95 by king jammy's. Some big digital tunes like : "nowhere to run" on the smoke the herb riddim, "see the light" big bad tune, "matie can't hear"...
Could you give me your favorite ones from this artists?

Sorry for my spoken language but i'm french...When i wanted to say "anonym" if you prefer "unknown". I think, when you hear his a voice you can't resist burning a big spliff!!!

Big up mi brethen!

That's the same one I have, and I don't think I know anything else by him. Haven't heard it in years, but, yeah, I did like it. 95 was a good year!

Anonym, which literally means no name, is the root of the word anonymous. In this context it should be taken to mean that Turbo Belly is not a widely recognized name in the game.

Turbobelly was a Jammy's Deejay, who gained some popularity as a Capleton sound-a-like in the mid 90s.

He was shot and killed. i believe in New York in 2003-4 or so
