The reggae scene in the United Kingdom has seen better times during the 1970s into the 1980s. Jamaican acts, including Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Dennis Brown, Marcia Griffiths, Barrington Levy, Gregory Isaacs, Beres Hammond, and even home-grown acts like Janet Kay, Bitty McLean, Peter Hunnigale, Aswad, Steel Pulse, UB40, and Maxi Priest, enjoyed crossover success on the pop charts.

Those days seem to be a distant memory. There hasn’t been much noise on the reggae scene in the UK reggae scene in recent years.

Baddiz, whose real name is Greg Bryan, and who migrated to the UK in 1998, is hoping to make that breakthrough which he craves by focusing on quality music.
