Joe White

Jamaican singer Joe White has had an unsung career, issuing several brilliant singles through the ska, rocksteady, and early reggae eras, including 1967's "Rudies All Around," 1968's "Every Night" (produced by Sonia Pottinger), and an amazing version of "My Guiding Star," produced by Charles Ross at Studio One. Somehow, though, White never garnered the mass attention he deserved. Early on he was a member of vocal group the Leaders with Ken Boothe, Roy Shirley, and Chuck Josephs, and several singles by the quartet were issued on Federal, but none generated much action.

DJ Earl

South Side born Earl Smith, one of the youngest members of the Ghettoteknitianz crew has been part of the footwork culture before he even hit his teens. Cutting his teeth as a dancer for the Creation Crew, he eventually tried his hand at making music and was taken under the wing of DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn who taught him the fundamentals of how a track is made. Yo can catch him cutting his records at almost all of the weekly battles that go on in the city of Chicago.
