legend Eddie Fitzroy, Alaska is a true musical and lyrical genius.

school mates, but only decided to take his music career more seriously after to
finishing his studies at Maldon high school, coming together with four of his
childhood friends to formed Western Jamaica based dancehall group Tyme Square.

bootleg riddims which rules the underground reggae music scene in western
Jamaica at the time. Alaska and his group have opened a number of top reggae
