One of Jamaica's most talented artists, Tapper Zukie has had
an equal impact on both sides of the recording deck, as both
a hitmaking toaster and as a producer who has worked with
the cream of Jamaica's vocalists. In addition, his early
ties to the punk community in both London and New York was
instrumental in the crossover of roots reggae into the
mainstream. Born David Sinclair, Tapper (also spelled Tappa)
was a diminutive of a nickname his grandmother gave him,
while Zukie was derived from the gang he ran with as a
child, the Zukies. In his teens, he began working for the
sound systems, first with I-Oses Discotech, then for the
Maccabees. It was through the latter that he came to the
attention of producer Bunny Lee; unfortunately, his
off-hours delinquency ensured that he was also coming to the
attention of the police.
Finally, Zukie's mother wisely decided it was time for the
youth to permanently leave the Kingston streets behind, and
in 1973 packed him off to relatives in England. Lee, too,
wanted him out of trouble, but preferred to have him put in
the studio. Not content to see the teen's talent wasted, the
producer pulled some strings, and the day after arriving in
London Zukie was onstage, opening for U-Roy. His one-song
toast so impressed producer and Ethnic Records' label head
Larry Lawrence that Zukie was immediately swept into the
studio to record his debut single, "Jump & Twist."
Returning to Kingston at the end of the year, the young DJ
now began recording singles for a host of producers, most
notably 1975's "Natty Dread on the Mountain Top," a fearsome
version of "Jah Vengeance" for producer Yabby You. Zukie
also entered the studio with Bunny Lee and recorded a clutch
of songs, including the seminal "Natty Dread Don't Cry."
Although the DJ refused to sign an exclusive deal with Lee,
the producer happily sent him on his way with a batch of
backing tracks to work with. Producers JoJo Hookim and Ossie
Hibbert added more to the pile, and it was from all these
donated tapes that Zukie built his debut album, MPLA.
Defiantly independent, the DJ recorded and financed the
recording of the record himself, and set up his own label,
Stars. But lack of money forced Zukie to put the album on
ice and initially release some of the tracks as singles. It
was at this point that he began producing other artists,
initially working with the likes of Errol Dunkley and former
Itals vocalist Ronnie Davis.
Zukie headed back to London in mid-1975 in search of a
distribution deal for Stars. There he discovered that a
recording session he'd done during his previous stay, with
producer Clem Bushay, had since been released as the Man a
Warrior album, and was selling like hotcakes through the
Klik label. Immediately inking a licensing deal with Klik,
Zukie's profile soared even higher upon the release of a
single off MPLA. The full album followed, and Zukie now
found himself with the best-selling reggae record in the
U.K. that Christmas. Soon after, the DJ signed a deal with
Virgin Records. A visiting Patti Smith was equally
impressed, and when the DJ joined her on-stage during the
group's London show in October 1976, the pairing brought the
house down. It's no surprise then that Zukie agreed to open
for the band's next tour. Smith was so taken by the young DJ
that she also released Man a Warrior on her own Mer label.
Zukie now moved into a period of astonishing productivity,
releasing the Man From Bosrah, Earth Running, Escape From
Hell, In Dub, Peace in the Ghetto, and Black Man albums
between 1977 and 1979. Although his profile was initially
higher in Britain than Jamaica, that changed in 1977 after
Zukie scored with two massive hit singles, "Oh Lord" and
"She Wants a Phensic."
As the new decade dawned, Zukie was an international
presence to be reckoned with, jet-setting between London and
Kingston, gigging constantly, recording, and producing. He
sat behind the controls for acclaimed work by Horace Andy,
mixed the highly lauded Green Valley for Militant Barry, and
released his own Raggy Joey Boy and People Are You Ready?
albums. Between 1983 and 1986, Zukie concentrated on
production work, recording with just about every artist
worth his salt on the island ù the Mighty Diamonds, Max
Romeo, Ken Boothe, Sugar Minott, and U-Roy are just a few
amongst this vast legion. An equally sympathetic producer of
both toasters and vocalists, Zukie found himself highly
sought after by veteran artists as well as upcoming young
stars to-be.
But even at the height of superstardom, Zukie's
self-deprecation remained legendary, as the title of his
series of toasting compilations proved. Jokingly titled Old
Time DJ Come Back, the albums featured a host of toasters
old and new, and the series remains a seminal collection of
the genre. It wasn't until 1986 that Zukie released a new
album of his own material, Ragamuffin, and another decade
passed before its follow-up Deep Roots appeared. However, he
did continue recording, with his music gracing the B-sides
of singles he'd produced for other artists. And production
is where Zukie has kept his name afire, as he's continued to
work with the island's greatest names, releasing the
subsequent singles through his own Tappa label. Sly Dunbar,
JC Lodge, Beres Hammond, and Simpleton are just a few of the
multitudes who have been on the other side of his recording
deck in more recent years.
