Yes indeed Jah Wise is a true Jamaican renaissance man -- his record collection is legendary; not only can he murder you with Rock Steady, Roots and Ska he can also walk into his room of souls and jazz and dust you down! As a selector and sound-system operator, he is one of the originators -- starting Tippa Tone in the 60s and running it until now. He built the riddim for Tek a Lick which became Billie Jean and produced a great General Plough LP. His brother and sister are the singers Cornell and Cecille Campbell. And finally, remember that scene in ROCKERS when Horsemouth takes his motorcycle to the artist and gets it painted with the Lion of Judah? Well, that artist is Jah Wise!

Beyond all that, Jah Wise is our friend and his aesthetic and knowledge about Jamaican music has enlightened us. We have learned a lot from him and there are countless, massive tunes that he turned us onto. So big up yourself Jah Wise!!!!!
