Virgo Hi-Power is a long-time sound crew featuring DJ Boomshot (Maui, Hawaii) and DJ Solid Rock (San Diego, California). In celebration of his 65th birthday, VP Records drew for a mix from some of the best in the western US. His legendary Youthman Promotion sound is still known today not just for the music it produced, but for the long list of young vocalists it raised. Sugar was also much more than a vocalist – he was a producer who led many of his own recording sessions, ran labels and distribution, and also worked with sound systems. From his initial work with The African Brothers, to his genre-defining early dancehall work at Studio One, to his rub-a-dub at Channel One and beyond, Sugar wasn’t just part of reggae, he was at the center of it. Lincoln “Sugar” Minott (– July 10, 2010) is known in Jamaica and around the world as one of the greatest and most beloved figures in reggae music.
