Ricky General

Putting it all together: Ricky General (Anderson) is a Kingston-born deejay who came up on Waterford sound systems in the 1980s, broke through in the early 1990s with “Slam Bam”, then became a fixture of hardcore dancehall through hit singles like “Sketell Bomb” and “Informer” and collaborations with stars such as Mega Banton, Dennis Brown and Frankie Paul. After decades of recording across numerous riddims and labels, he now runs his own imprint, Orange Diamond Records, and continues to release new music, keeping a bridge between 90s dancehall and today’s younger generation.
