Eek-A-Mouse Biography
While his take on reggae and dub retains much of the soulful intensity of his contemporaries, Eek-a-Mouse (born Ripton Hylton in 1957) was the first artist to realize the genre's capacity for humor.

After a breakout performance at the 1981 Reggae Sunsplash Festival, the Kingston, Jamaica-born artist enjoyed a career of impressive longevity, prolific output, and consistently high quality.
