was released in 1978 and showcased his "raw moan" vocal style. He set
up his own label Incredible Jux and was a regular visitor to Britain. In
1985 he attracted controversy by releasing "Broadwater Farm", which
predicted violence on the north London housing estate. When a riot broke
out shortly afterwards, culminating in the murder of Keith, the record was banned.

young music entrepreneur, Jason Knight, who had grown up listening to
his records meant a different path for him musically. He recognised
Junior's distinct raw style as one of the great voices of reggae and
encouraged him to share it with a new generation.
