NOTE:
Originally a sound system in Kingston Jamaica Black Scorpio started out in 1970, putting on parties and later talent shows and sound clashes. Many artists cut their clashing teeth at Scorpio events, artists such as Yellowman, Sassafrass, General Trees.
Moving into production and recordings in the '80s and still helmed by Maurice Johnson (aka Jack Scorpio) Black Scorpio became an originator in the digital dancehall sound, with artists like Courtney Melody, General Trees, Papa San, Pan Head and Frankie Paul.
