Life and career

---

Judge Dread was the first white artist to get a reggae hit in Jamaica. He got his stage name from a Prince Buster track, and his first hits were inspired by Buster's single "Big Five".

The Guinness Book of World Records credits Judge Dread for having the most banned songs of all time. Many of his lyrics have sexual connotations, with one song "Big Five" using rhyme to suggest words whilst not actually saying them. A series of songs with "Big" followed by a number were some of his most notable hits, all of these featuring sex-obsessed but at the same time very humourous lyrics. His ability to write lyrics with rhyme, a sexually perverted message and at the same time make you laugh, is a very special one. It is unlikely that you will ever hear his music on the radio because of the nature of his lyrics.
