Blackman's Foundation [Vinyl]

Blackman's Foundation is one of the great roots albums of the classic reggae era.

Hugh Mundell, who was tragically murdered at the age of 21, was one of the most talented young roots reggae artists on the Jamaican scene. A protege of dub legend Augustus Pablo, Hugh recorded the legendary roots-classic album "Africa Must Be Free (By 1983)" at the age of 16.

Blackman's Foundation, co-produced by Hugh Mundell and the legendary Augustus Pablo, is one of only three Hugh Mundell albums ever released. As such it is a precious artifact of Mundell's prodigious talent as it features Mundell's keening, hypnotic declamatory vocals over deep, powerful reggae riddims.

Highlights of Blackman's Foundation include the hit single "Can't Pop No Style", the extended 12" version of the title track featuring Jah Bull and the classic single "Stop Them Jah".
