Dancehall/ Reggae/ Ragga From: Jamaica Dirtsman (born: Patrick Thomas),in 1967. Only twenty-seven when he died on December 21st 1993, Dirtsman was on the cusp of attaining international success, having recently signed a recording contract with BMG. The son of the owner of the Black Universal Sound System, Dirtsman was the brother of deejay Papa San. Although he launched his career with his father's company, he later switched to the Willowdene-based Creation Rock Tower System. Recording since the mid-1980s, Dirtsman's biggest hits were "Thank You", produced by Steely and Clevie and "Hot This Year", produced by New York producer Philip Smart.
