DILLINGER, the Dub Organizer, is the last exponent of the classic Jamaican deejay school of the 70s
He later found worldwide fame with the song "Cocaine In My Brain" in the middle of that decade. Born Lester Bullocks on June 25, 1953, in Kingston, Jamaica, as a youth, the DJ-to-be hung around the sound systems He began as a trainee as Dennis Alcapone Junior did, in the sound system of Kingston, El Paso, of the legendary deejay Dennis Alcapone since when Lee Perry renamed him with the alias of a notorious gangster of the thirties during his first studio session.
The special particularity of Dillinger was to introduce commentaries in his chats about life in the ghetto, something that will become the dominant style of the deejays of the second half of the seventies. By the mid-'70s, the young Dillinger had rapped his way to the top of the pack and won international acclaim. Renowned for his quick wit, irreverent raps, and whacked sense of humor, the DJ remains one of the most innovative and humorous toasters of any era.
