thanks for this video. I always wondered what happened to Billy Boyo. Only a few years ago, stumbled upon his music on KZbin and was amazed how good he was. I wondered why he didnt dominate the 90s

[@ronnie1315]

*"Billy Boyo, what mek you bad so?"* Glad you made a video of this DJ. RIP. Wonder if you did a synopsis on other child stars from dancehall like Yami Bolo, Tristan Palma, Little Kirk, White Mice. Love the channel. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

If you want to hear Junjos ' Billy Boyo /Little Harry ' lp , it was reissued on cd by Greensleeves label in 2008 as 'DJ Clash -3 the Hard way' with 5 tracks added from Nicodemus ( from his split lp with Toyan) ..the Toyan tracks were added to the cd reissue of Toyan 'How the West Was Won' .

Thanks so much for this. I just recently discovered Going Back To School and it sent me on a path to learn more about reggae's rich history. I can't imagine what Billy might have been able to create if circumstances had been different.

It's tragic such a great album was left unreleased, possibly screwing over what would've been an amazing career. It doesn't make any sense, and only makes me wonder how many other masterpiece albums are just left unreleased for stupid reasons

[@oppositeoppositer7352]

Thank you for this very important update. Huge fan of Billy Boyo. How about Little Harry ? What happen to him ?

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

He's doing well. Didn't reach his potential either but endured longer than his friend

[@stuckintha90s]

Thanks for this one! There's such little information about this singer.

Stuck, he was very good friends with Little John and Toyan growing up. Ahead of his time. Go and listen to the song Computer Car. Nuff respect.
