Proudly present Tricky !!!!!

The third single taken from 2008s critically acclaimed album Knowle West Boy, Puppy Toy is a sardonic smoky bar-room blues track featuring a cascading piano riff and an infectious chorus, but most notably some pointed banter between Tricky and Leeds vocalist Alex Mills (signed to Tricky and Chris Blackwells label, Brown Punk). There may be a playful exterior, but lurking between the lines theres plenty of mercenary femininity and damaged goods to get your teeth into.

Tricky was born in Knowle West, Bristol, England. His father left the family before he was born and his mother, Maxine Quaye, committed suicide when he was only four. He named his solo album after her - Maxinquaye - and once said that though he hardly knew her, he feels like she's speaking through him with his words.

Jamaican Ska: The Reggae-Infused Roots

When American Bop Met Jamaican Mento, Something Special Was Born

As Jamaica was being released from British rule after World War II, American music was swinging away from the Big Band jazz sound and turning to smaller combos playing bop. Local bands in Jamaica were playing mento and more traditional calypso, but began to incorporate the horns and beats from bop and jazz into what they were already doing. Such cross-fertilization continued for decades, leading to a fusion of several musical styles and the development ofska music.

Rosco Gordon often gets credit for "creating" ska, but he drew upon the prevailing music trends, including the signature afterbeat sound that distinguishes ska from most popular music. The sound grew and became a part of the Rude Boy movement fostered by poverty and race issues growing in Jamaica in the early 1960s. (For an excellent discussion of this, check Raj Records' History of Ska page.) As these pressures peaked in the mid-sixties, ska evolved into Rocksteady and then into reggae. The ska musical movement was far from over, however.

Some names of note: Prince Buster (of course), Duke Reid, The Heptones, Owen Grey, The Skatalites, The Overtakers, early Derrick Morgan, and the Matador Allstars.
