Jamaican-born reggae singer, producer, and dubmaster Tapper Zukie first got started as a performer when he moved to London in the early '70s. Coming under the tutelage of established reggae presences like Bunny Lee and U-Roy, Zukie quickly began performing and releasing albums of his own, hitting a hot streak near the end of the '70s and creating dub classics like 1976's In Dub and 1978's Escape from Hell. He excelled as a producer and record executive, forming his own labels Stars and Tappa Records and working with reggae stars like Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Sugar Minott, and many others. Zukie kept occasionally active making new music of his own as well, performing into the 2010s and sporadically releasing new albums like 2022's Bunker Buster.
