Tumpa Lion

b. Carlton Mason, c.1966, Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies. Tumpa Lion’s exclusive style usually indicated that he was destined for any promising career among the initial DJs carrying out with Patrick Roberts’ Surprising Vibes Team. In 1990, Tumpa Lion released the sexist refrain, ‘Tight JUST LIKE A Virgin’ as well as the braggadocio, ‘We Are Poor Boy’, which were both well-known hits inside the dancehall and professional charts. He adopted the discharge with some singles including a tacky making of ‘The Glue’, the disparaging ‘You Nah Boney’ and an observation associated with halitosis, ‘No Nice Mouth area’. In 1992, Tumpa Lion became a member of Maxi Priest within the remake from the Cornelius Brothers And Sister Rose spirit classic, ‘It’s As well Late TO CAREFULLY TURN Back Right now’, inspired from the Chi-Lites’ reggae-styled edition of the track. The laid-back tempo and charming melody reflected the first 90s pattern of dancehall smoochers. The mixture with Priest was broadly regarded as exceptional and, as meant, launched Tumpa Lion to a worldwide target audience. In 1993, the DJ loved further success using the mischievously conceited ‘The Range’. The track was an unreserved feature his supposed stamina in the bed room when his, ‘Female seh thanks a lot – good overall performance – is it possible to obtain the jockey whey fi perform de range’. Tumpa Lion’s encounter as a high rating DJ was short-lived, although he continues to be a highly well known performer inside the Jamaican music market.
