Background notes
Archive material and source history
Macka B is a reggae artist born in England to Jamaican parents. He started out in the late 1970s as a sound system operator and MC. His music gained attention in the 1980s, with songs like 'Legalize The Herb' from 1987 becoming an anthem for cannabis advocates.
He co-founded the UK United Council of Rastafari, a non-profit focused on Rastafarian culture and social justice. His activism around cannabis legalization led to multiple arrests, which reinforced his role in counterculture circles.
His albums include 'Smoke and Mirrors' from 1990, 'Disarmament' from 1995, and 'Question Time' from 2000. Over time, his sound incorporated hip-hop, soul, and dub elements, while his lyrics often addressed racial inequality, police brutality, and environmental issues.
