Slackness Dancehall DJ General Echo

It is an actual fact that Reggae is counted among one of the most demanded music genres of all time. If we look back into the account, we will find out the fact that Reggae is a music formed from the island of Jamaica. History is filled with names of Reggae artists, who have created their own place in the world and General Echo is one of these awesome artists.

General Echo is one of the known names in the world of Dancehalll Reggae, and is explicitly one of the talented DJ's in this genre. His real name is Earl Anthony Robinson, but he was more famous as General Echo. The Reggae artist was born on 8th of December, in the year 1955. He delivered his slackness style in Kingston, one of the Jamaican cities, which boosted his popularity in the Dancehall.

General Echo was loved and appreciated by most of the people in Jamaica, but was not always embraced by other entertainers due to his slack (vulgar) lyrics. Apart from General Echo, Earl Anthony Robinson was also known by the name of Ranking Slackness. No matter what name you speak of, they knew who you were talking about.

General Echo did DJ for some of Jamaica's ruling sound systems like Stereophonic, Stur Gav & Virgo. He was more inclined towards the sexually explicit lyrics. And, it really worked because it helped him to connect with the fans as well. Slack lyrics today are common place but back then General Echo was really an one man show.

General Echo is always counted among the original deejays since Big Youth, U Roy, Briggy and many others. But, he had the most tragic end of his career. In the year 1980, General Echo was shot dead by the police and he took his last breath in the same city of Jamaica, Kingston.
