Lee "Scratch" Perry (born Rainford Hugh Perry; 20 March 1936) is one of Jamaica’s notable producers he helped usher in dub music. He began selling records for Jamaican producer and one of my favorites, the late Clement Coxsone Dodd’s sound system. After a falling out the two split. He had another bad experience with another producer he went on to start his own record label, Upsetter Records. Upsetter Records went on to release a number of hit singles in Jamaica. Perry is a very talented producer and artist. He opened the door to many genres of reggae music. He has always been eccentric in his way of producing and performing music as well as his attire, and his personality. He was worked with a number of artists such as Bob Marley and other artists in and out of reggae. I learned about him when was on a Beastie Boys’ song from their album, Hello Nasty. I heard his name tossed around when I started listening to more music from Jamaica. Perry will leave a lasting impression on music as he produces music and performs
