NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT [Episode #502 ~ 07-11-26]
Pictured: Tapper Zukie.
After U Roy and I Roy, one of Virgin’s most prominent deejays was Tappa Zukie, though his relationship with the company was turbulent and much of his best material was issued elsewhere. At Mixing Lab, Tappa is swaying on his feet, the sweat on his brow seemingly caused by rum rather than the afternoon heat. In West Kingston, where he was born David Sinclair in 1955, he endured a rough upbringing. ‘I grew up in between Greenwich Town and Trench Town, the hardcore town. Most people know me as the “cork and tar”: a cork and tar is a ball that you beat ‘til it becomes likkle. It is so tough that when it hit you, it’s like a bomb. The leather ball, if you’re beating it, it bust wide open, but a cork and tar it never bust, and the smaller it get is the hotter it make. My parents, pressure reach them, and they didn’t even have time to think about we, so I have to go ‘pon the road from [when] I was twelve. When I run away from home the people of Trench Town take to me, they say, “When your mother and your father forsake you, the lord God Jah will pick you up.”’
