RIP Lincoln “Sugar” Minott

Our condolences to the friends, fans and family of reggae superstar and dancehall legend Sugar Minott who reportedly passed away yesterday at the age of 54. His new album New Day was set for release on 21 July. No word on cause of death, but he had been suffering from a heart conditiondiagnosed back in May that prevented him from making scheduled appearances.

This song, “Rub-a-Dub Sound”, produced by reggae superproducers Sly & Robbie, was released in 1984 & is considered highly influential to the creation of the style known as ragga. Sit tight and listen keenly as we remember Sugar Minott.
