The Month of October in Jamaica recognizes the heritage of the Island, and the heroes who fought for freedom. On Monday October 20, the Island celebrates “Heroes’ Day“, and awards various members of society with National Honours at King’s House. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we want to give some people a reminder of our National Heroes. Today, we highlight Recording Artist Double Ugly, and the track, “Seven Hero Dance“.
Produced by Courtney Cole, and released through Roof International in 1992, Double Ugly reminded the people of our National Heroes in, “Seven Hero Dance”. Double observed back then that people were only namedropping a couple of National Heroes, and made it his duty to refresh their memory. With the uptempo production, we got an energetic track that got the people dancing while being educated. “Seven Hero Dance” gained some popularity soon after release, and was featured on the Compilation project, “Rooftop Skanking“, which was distributed through RUNNetherlands Music.
Double Ugly went on to release more music after the release of “Seven Hero Dance”. For some time some confused him with Dancehall Artist Ninja Man as “Double Ugly” was Ninja’s original stage name before the change, even though they sound nothing alike in their releases. For those who need a History lesson, take a seat in Double Ugly’s class today.
Thank You Double Ugly For this Track!
