Nicodemus was a pioneer of dancehall music and is credited with positively influencing many aspiring DJ's. He is truly a dancehall legend. Partnering with the iconic Super Cat since the late-1970s, the dynamic duo (Nicodemus & Super Cat) released a string of local and commercially successful reggae hits. Hit songs that spring to mind are "Cabin Stabbin'" and "My Prerogative. " Nicodemus died on August 26, 1996 of complications with diabetes. BiographyBorn in Jamaica in 1957, he began his career in 1976 as a deejay with the Socialist Roots sound system.[1][2] He moved to Prince Jammy's sound system in 1978 and towards the end of the decade also made his first studio recordings.[1] His style was compared to Prince Far I and Prince Jazzbo.[3][4] He had a big hit with "Boneman Connection" in 1981, and remained popular throughout the first half of the 1980s, becoming regarded as a dancehall veteran.[2][5] His influence was clear on younger deejays such as John Taylor, aka Nicodemus Junior, who later had greater success after changing his stage name to Chaka Demus.[1] After a lean period between the mid 1980s and the early 1990s, when his releases were less frequent, he re-emerged in 1994 with the album The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and the Crazy, which was followed by Cabbin Stabbin in 1995. In 1996, he died from complications related to diabetes, aged 39, with a posthumous album, Dancehall Greats, issued two years later.[1] Album Discography
