JUDGEMENT

Hailing from the streets of Waterhouse, Kingston JA, Judgement’s love of reggae music was instilled at an early age. An offspring of roots and culture as the nephew of Grammy award winning artist Mykal Rose, it was certain that the culture, vibe and lifestyle would help form Judgement as a selector. Influences of that era include the likes of Leroy Smart, Beres Hammond and Berrington Levy.As reggae music constantly evolves, the era Judgement clings to is the mid to late 80’s. A time when Saturday morning rituals involved mama’s fried dumpling cooking in the kitchen whilst his father’s airing out the set (sound system) started with soul at early morning, followed by Studio One - stretching to late evening – an array of Jammy’s, Cocoa Tea, Tenor Saw and Nitty Gritty.More recent influences range from Sizzla, Mad Cobra, Vybz Kartel to Bounty, Jay Dilla, Mad Lib, The Roots, Slum Village and Dead Prez. Judgement’s versatility is reflected in the delivery of diverse sets from dancehall to ska, underground hip hop to neo soul, house to roots.
