Culture
Born on January 22, 1949, in the Jamaican parish of St. Catherine. Hill was the lead singer and songwriter for Culture – the roots reggae group he formed with Albert “Ralph” Walker and Roy “Kenneth” Dayes. Known for their famous 1977 hit album Two Sevens Clash, Hill would go on to record 30 albums underlying his prolific nature.
His devotion to the traditional Rastafarian values of purity, simplicity and justice were clearly evident in his works and albums such as Two Sevens Clash (1977), Harder Than the Rest (1978), Cumbolo (1979), International Herb (1979), Lion Rock (1982), Culture at Work (1986), Nuff Crisis (1988), Wings of a Dove (1992), One Stone (1996), Cultural Livity (1998), Humble African (2000), Payday (2000) and Live in Africa (2002) setting the standard for the ‘roots’ genre.
So conscious of himself, he had a weakness for alcohol and smoking.
That weakness as confirmed by his widow, Mama Pauline led to liver cirrhosis as the cause of Culture’s death on August 19, 2006, aged 57. This follows years of heavy drinking and smoking.
