Wackie's

Wackie's is run by Lloyd "Bullwackie" Barnes, who was born in Trench Town, Jamaica, and moved to New York in 1967.

[2] In 1979, Barnes recorded Solid C., Bobby D. and Kool Drop's "Wack Rap", an early hip-hop single.

By that time, Barnes was recording established artists, including Johnny Osbourne, Wayne Jarrett, and Leroy Sibbles (after he left the Heptones).

The label also released songs by Horace Andy, including an album titled Dance Hall Style, and others that are now considered classics.

To date, the imprint has put out work from artists such as Horace Andy, Jerry Harris, Wayne Jarrett, Love Joys, The Meditations, and Sugar Minott, as well as several strictly dub releases by Wackies-sponsored bands.
