Dillinger, born June 25, 1953 in Kingston, Jamaica, is a renowned reggae artist. With a career spanning several decades, Dillinger has established himself as a prominent figure in the reggae music scene. His unique style and captivating performances have earned him a dedicated fan base worldwide.

Influenced by legendary artists such as *I-Roy*, *Dr. Alimantado*, and *Yabby You*, Dillinger has carved out his own distinctive sound that blends elements of reggae, dancehall, and dub. Known for his smooth vocals and powerful lyrics, he continues to captivate audiences with his infectious energy on stage.

Throughout his career, Dillinger has collaborated with esteemed musicians including *Junior Delgado*, *Sylford Walker*, and *Mikey Dread*. His contributions to the reggae genre have not gone unnoticed, earning him accolades and respect from both fans and fellow artists alike.

It was ‘CB 200’ that spawned the hit single “Cocaine In My Brain”, written by Dillinger and and produced by Hoo Kim. It was recorded at Channel One studios and featured Trinity on backing vocals. The song was driven by samples from the Gold record “Do It Any Way You Wanna” by American funk band People’s Choice. Dillinger toured Europe on the strength of the hit and was referenced by Joe Strummer in The Clash’s track “(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais”.

Our chosen B-side is the 1979 reprise “Marijuana In My Brain”, also written by Dillinger, which resulted in album of the same name.
