community of Georges Valley , a small district on the outskirts of Mandeville . Rohan recalls his first live
performance as one he'll never forget," It was 1987 while attending Decarteret college high school " the
auditorium was packed , and i delivered", receiving so
much applause, the concert ended abruptly , because the principal thought the lyrcs
where too controversial , however this was the beginning of Ragga lox .
In 1988 before finishing high school Ragga and his family migrated to NY.
Ragga Lex , as he was now known , started recording for Rhythm One Records . His debut release came in
1995 with three tracks on a compilation Cd entitled Rhythm One Riddims. His single Ghetto youths was a
favorite.The disc also featured Wayne" Sling Ting "Smith , Yankee B And Devon Clarke .

Jamaica , receiving airplay on major radio stations , and rave reviews in the print media . Balfour Henry of the
Jamaica Sunday gleaner wrote of how he was "delighted on hearing its lyrical tirade against all forms of
injustices ", but also highlighted the fact that the album " has the hallmarks of a relatively poor inexperienced
producer , trying to make the best of his ambition'" . Another beautiful article was published in the Jamaica
Observer, featured the picture of popular dancehall deejay "Lexxus" instead , who was at the time using the
alias "Mr. Lex" as his nick name , so Ragga decided to go back to the drawing board. First he request the album
be remixed , then he changed the " Lex " to "Lox" which he thought was more practical , since rastafari had now
