One of the first base British reggae artists to embrace dancehall, Sammy Dread (innate: Stewart Farquaharson) has continued to have a hard-edged, roughhouse, access to reggae. While he scored minor solo hits with "Talk It Over" and "Nerve-racking To Conquer Natty Dreadlocks", and an album, Stereophonic, recorded with Philip Frazer in 1980, Dread's best mold has been produced in collaborationism with such reggae artists as Sugar Minnot, Black Roots and InI Oneness. The championship track of his 1995 album, Road Block, was covered by London-born and United States-based vocalist/rapper, Shinehead.
Dread united with Peter Rankin and Smokey Dread, in April 1981, for an album-length "battle" betwixt competing Jamaican good scheme companies, BlackStar vs. King Jammys.
