But, like his fellow countryman Mikey Dread, Tappa Zukie first gained prominence as a DJ after emigrating to England in the late '70s. Also like Dread, Tappa Zukie was embraced by the elements of the punk culture looking to authenticate their own dub experiments. Signed to Virgin Records' reggae subsidiary Front Line, Tappa Zukie released several albums of punk-influenced hard roots reggae before concentrating on production and management in the late '80s. An early release on the fantastic British reissue label Blood and Fire, 1979's TAPPA ZUKIE IN DUB is a classic of British reggae-booming, relentless, hard-edged dub featuring the magnificent rhythm section of Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare and Tappa Zukie's own nimble toasting. The CD includes extensive liner notes, as do most Blood and Fire reissues, and an interview with Tappa Zukie.
