King Kong
Nationalité : Jamaïquain
Vrai nom : Dennis Anthony Thomas
Super Ape !!!!!
Né en 1964, à Kingston, il fut d'abord surnommé Junior Kong par son père, il commença sa carrière de DJ en 1982, en enregistrant "Pink Eye" pour Tuff Gong. Après un court séjour au sound Love Bunch de GT, il se retrouve sur le label Firehouse de King Tubby qui voit en lui un chanteur digne de rivaliser avec Tenor-Saw. Dès les premiers enregistrements, 2 cuts se font remarquer par le "trés serieux" du texte, l'inspiration du chant et le son de Tubby ("Aids" sur le Sida et "Babylon" sur la société de consommation).
En 1985, alors que le digital se précise, Tubby est derrière le roi en la matière : Jammy. Anthony Red Rose de l'écurie Tubby's se retrouve aux côtés de King Kong, cette même année, tels "2 taureaux dans l'enclot", c'est le fameux "2 Big Bull Ina One Pen".
on le retrouve l'année suivante chez King Jammy pour lequel il enregistre quelques perles comme "Legal We Legal", "Trouble Again", et "Mix Up", regroupées sur l'album "Legal We Legal", distribué en Europe par Greensleeves sous le nom "Trouble Again".
Jusqu'en 1987, il enregistre pour Jammy et d'autres producteurs comme Black Scorpio, Harry J, Errol Scorcher, Jazzbo, Java (Toots Boops) ou Jah Life. Des albums pour Bunny Lee, Black Solidarity et Jammy's suivirent avant qu'il n'aille s'installer à New York puis au Canada, alors que les années 80 touchaient à leur fin, n'enregistrant sporadiquement que sur son trés éphemère propre label Conscious Music (en 1989, "He Was A Friend" en hommage à son regretté ami Tenor-Saw.
L'année d'après, il traverse l'Atlantique se retrouvant à Londres aux côtés de Mafia & Fluxy ou encore Gussie "P" Prento, avec lesquels il prouve, si besoin est, qu'il est toujours présent et efficace. Depuis 1992, on le retrouve sur divers labels mais surtout, et aujourd'hui encore en 2005, chez Massive B pour lequel il cut des singles toujours d'actualité dans les sounds comme "Call Mr Maden" sur le Stalag, 1995, ou encore "Rumble Jumble Life" sur le Cuss Cuss en 1997. En 2000 il se fait produire par Linval Thompson qui alors ressort de 'vieux' riddims de son catalogue roots du debut des années 80, de cette collaboration parait l'excellent "Who Say" sur le "Dreadlock Nah Run" de Linval-Thompson, une tuerie d'une qualité rarement atteinte depuis les 90's...

King Kong (Dennis Anthony Thomas), born the 26 of march 1962 in Rose Lane, Kingston Jamaica, the last of six children from the mother Aldit Barnas and the tenth of thirteen from the father Elijah Ebeneeser Thomas. His career started as a young child in Mr. Arnold basic School, where he allways was called for to sing. After he atended Provence All Age School, where he became famous for his part in dancing drama and singing. He left school in 1973 at the age of 13.
Then he moved with his father to "Water House" where he gained more experience in music. After a little while, they moved on to the place of his fathers birth, St Andreas. "Pinto Exseba" Golden Hill Cavalers". This was the place where he seriously desided to become a singer. He and two other brothers came togher and formed a singing group called "The Black Invaders". Baga was the leader of the group and"Benje" and "King Kong" was the backup singers. They rehersed every day on the riverside and sometimes Lidee Culture, Roco Culture, Rampe Culture and Masha Culture were on the river, doing their thing too. Lidee and Roco is family to King Kong by blood. After a few weeks of daily practise the group started to go to different studios, such as Aquarious and Joe Gibbs.
It became a turning point in King Kongs career the day he went to the famous Derek Morgan, who was doing addisions at his home for young artists. Derek Morgan asked each one of them to sing on their own and when King Kong sang, he was told, that he should be the leader of the group. Baga did not want that, so the group broke up and King Kong started his solo career. He went back to Joe Gibbs and did addision with the late Enos Macloud, famous for the song, "Money Worries". King Kong voiced 4 or 6 tunes/dj style for the late Errol Thomsen (Joe Gibbs studio), but they never put out any. Then he went back to Aquarious for addisions and recorded one song for Earnest Wilson. Then he ventured to Tuff Gong and in 1982 King Kong released his first song, "Pink Eye", produced by the Tuff Gong, Afair.
Shortly after, he went to prison on remard in Gereral Peneten, untill released again the 10. of october 1984. In prison he met the late Barley Johnson, who became a very good friend. King Kong was known as the best singer in prison and after he was released from prison, he kept in touch with Barley, who introduced him to the great King Tubby and gave him a room in Tower Hill on Tower Avenue, Olympic Way, Kingston 11.
King Kong started to work with the Love Bounce Sound System from Tivoly Garden, Kings favorite ghetto and he worked with the label Firehouse of King Tubby.
King Kongs first tune for the great King Tubby was "This Magic Moment" on the "Red Man Label" (a good friend of Tubby). Then King Kong did a song for an independent producer from UK. title "Sensimilia Is Walking" and when Tubby heard the song, he saw King Kong as a rival of "Tenor Saw". Then came "Step On Dem Corn", "Aids" and "Babylon" (a hard attack to the Babylon system). In 1985, when the digital music prevail to the instrumental one and King Tubby became the most important producer, King Kong recorded "Two Big Bull Inna One Pen" in a big combination with Anthony Red Rose. In late 1985 to 1986 King Kong moved to Prince Jammy and recorded "Legal Wi Legal", "Trouble Again", "Mix Up" , included in the album called "Legal Wi Legal" (but distributed in Europe with the title "Trouble Again").
At the same time, King Kong recorded songs for the Black Scorpio, Bunny Lee, better known as Striker Lee, Prince Jahsbo, Harry J, Errol Scorcher and many more producers. In the late eightees, he went to the United States and Canada, where he found the label Conscious Music. In 1989 he recorded the album called " He Was a Friend", a tribute for his friend/rival Tenor Saw, who died prematurely.
Some years later, he moved to London and worked with Mafia & Fluxy, Passion Records, Gossip P and Massive B. With Bobby Condor he recorded a dubplate called "Call MR Madden" in 1990. Two years later Bobby decided to put out this dubplate as a single and it became a well known hit in the dancehall scene. 4-5 years later the Fugees used the lyrics on their biggest hit ever, the album "The Score", in the title song "Fu Gee La La". But all together, his presence in the world of reggae music became sporadic.
After released from prison in England in 1996 and deported back to Jamaica, he hooked up with King Jammys and recorded songs as "Seize All Guns" and "Break Down The Walls".
It was the label Massive B that truely rediscovered his talent and great artistic skill and with them he recorded singles as "Jah Is My Best Friend", "Earth Is The Lord" and "I Feel A Joy". In november 2005, he recorded his latest album "Rumble Jumble Life". In dec. 2007 Wyclef Jean again used on of King Kongs song - "Trouble Again" - in the track - "Riot" - on his new album - "Carnival vol. II".
The revolutionary roots reggae/dancehall singer King Kong imigrated to Ethiopia in 2007. He is still touring in the west and hopefully his powerful and highly spirituel inspiration will bless the world with a new album soon.

And of levi he said.Let thy Thummin and thy Urim be with the holy one whom thou didst prove at massah and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah,Who said unto his father and to his mother,I have not seen him neither did he acknowledge his brethren,nor knew his own children,for they have observed thy word and kept thy covenant.They shall teach jacob thy judgement and Israel thy law.they shall put incense before thee and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar. Bless LORD his substance and accept the work of his hands,smite through the loins of them that rise against him and of them that hate him,that they rise not again.Deut.33;8,9,10,11 May YAH,the everlasting father give you enough will to go through and do the work that has to be done in spirit.Nough will fight you and talk bad about you,but you dont jump into the evil way to destroy(Gen.49;5-7) because Yeshua the messiah did leave HIS peace with us. Join your brethren and sistren because unity is strenth and only united we will stand.Divided we will fall!!!One for all and all for one;operating in that manner there will be no failure!!
