Trinity
Dreadlocks Satisfaction
The reggae artist known as Trinity is one of the musics best-known rappers, known in Jamaica as "toasters" or "deejays"
for their key work at the microphone on sound systems. Born Wade Brammer in1954 and raised in the tough streets of the
Two Mile ghetto in western Kingston, an early preoccupation with the toasting styles of U Roy and Big Youth kept him
away from crime, leading to a debut single as Prince Charming and more solid early work released under the name Prince
Glen. Bonding closely with fellow deejay Dillinger brought another name change to Trinity at Channel One studio, which
enabled his debut album, Shanty Town Determination, produced by Yabby You, and subsequent breakthrough material for
Channel One and Joe Gibbs, the latter releasing "Three Piece Suit," the blueprint for Althea and Donnas "Uptown Top
Ranking," which would catapult Trinity to international stardom. Dreadlocks Satisfaction was produced by Bunny Lee for
his Jackpot label in 1979, placing Trinitys witty raps over some of Bunnys most unusual rhythms, including alternate,
rockers-styled Johnny Clarke takes of The Isley Brothers "This Old Heart Of Mine" and The Tams "Riding For A Fall," plus
Cornell Campbells takes of The Sensations "Every Day Is A Holiday" and The Heptones "Why Did You Leave"; Trinity also
salutes Dillinger on a recut of John Holts "Linger A While".
