The world's fastest rapper according to the Guinness Book of World Records, Jamaican-born Daddy Freddy was also one of the first artists to fuse ragga and dancehall with hip-hop, helping establish a style that would become highly influential during the '90s. Freddy (born S. Frederick Small, 1965, Kingston) grew up in the Trenchtown area and began performing for his uncle's sound system, eventually moving on to join Lieutenant Stitchie and, most importantly, Sugar Minott. His gig with Minott's sound system helped make his name in Jamaica (and, following an overseas tour, the U.K.); in 1985, he made his first recording for Clement "Coxsone" Dodd's Studio One label, a single titled "Zoo Party," that was built on the rhythm of the early ragga smash "Under Mi Sleng Teng." Aided by his hit debut album Body Lasher, Freddy scored a remarkable six Top Ten hits in Jamaica during 1986, including a collaboration with Pinchers, called "Joker Lover," which topped the charts.

In 1987, Freddy returned to the U.K., where he signed with the Music of Life label and began working with producer Asher D. The resulting album, Raggamuffin Hip-Hop, was one of the first fusions of dancehall toasting with hip-hop rhythms, breaking a great deal of new ground. Freddy continued to record dancehall reggae singles for the Jamaican audience while making guest appearances with pop and dance artists like Go West, Melissa Morgan, and Beats International (the pre-Fatboy Slim project of Norman Cook). In 1988, Freddy entered the Guinness Book of World Records with a rap that topped 500 syllables per minute. Despite success in the U.K. and Jamaica, Freddy hadn't made as much of an impression in the States, and he aimed to change that by signing with Chrysalis for the 1991 album Stress and the accompanying single "Daddy Freddy's in Town." Both enjoyed modest success, and the Capitol-issued follow-up album, Raggamuffin Soldier, scored positive reviews, but Freddy never quite became a breakout star in America even with his tremendous technical skill. Freddy soon elected to take a break from his frenetic late-'80s recording schedule, releasing his last Music of Life album, The Big One. However, he staged a comeback in 2000 with the acclaimed Old School, New School, a collaboration with new U.K. dub wizard the Rootsman. Freddy subsequently returned to Jamaica to begin recording some new dancehall material.

Claudius Douglas, better known as Bunny General, is recognized and respected worldwide as a veteran reggae and dancehall artist. He began performing in the dance hall with various sound systems long before he got an opportunity to work on a stage show. Some of the sounds that he would frequently work with back then were Rocking Saint, Elrino, Stur Mars and Cosmic Force. He eventually graduated from performing in the dance halls to taking the stage and entertaining the masses. Bunny as he is affectionately called, began making music in the late seventies and officially got his recognition in 1983. That was the year he recorded and released “goat rider” for King Tubbys. The success of that single opened doors for Bunny General and made it possible for him to voice for major names such as King Jammys, Bobby Digital, Mikey Bennet and other decorated labels. Bunny General has done work with artists like Lt. Stitchie, Papa San, Johnny Ringo, Yellow Man, Josey Wales, Charley Chaplin, Early B, Super Cat, Beenie Man and many others in the capacity of either touring, collaborating and/or songwriting. He can also boast several number ones in various countries and the release of albums for Digital B, Johnny P and Tuffis. Having no intentions of slowing down, Bunny General released singles in 2011 on several rhythm-driven projects like Preview, Tour and others. Additionally, he was recently booked for a two-month European tour alongside dancehall heavyweight, Junior Cat.
