the Zulu Warrior is a Jamaican reggae/dub sound system operator who has been
operating a South East London-based, roots reggae Jamaican sound system since

that of the Zulu king Shaka Zulu. Jah Shaka was born in Clarendon Parish,
Jamaica, an area which has produced numerous roots reggae stars, amongst them
Toots Hibbert, Everton Blender, Barrington Levy and Freddie McGregor. On his own
record label he has released music from Jamaican artists such as Max Romeo,
Johnny Clarke, Bim Sherman and Prince Alla as well as UK groups such as Aswad
and Dread & Fred. He has released a number of dub albums, often under the
Commandments of Dub banner. Artists featured on more recent releases include
both established singers like Tony Tuff, and new emerging artists like Rockaway
and Principle - who have sung over riddims produced by his son Malachi, known as
Young Warrior.
