Admiral Tibet

Dancehall artist Admiral Tibett is known for his genuine consciousness. A member of the Twelve Tribes since adolescent, Tibett avoids slackness in his lyrics. Born in Freehill, Jamaica, he got his start in Jamaican clubs and in sound systems as a teen, but did not record until he was in his twenties because he did not want to move to Kingston. In 1985, he had his first hit "Babylon War." He remains best known in the Caribbean. ~ Sandra Brennan
