Prince Far I

<strong>Prince Far I</strong> was born Michael James Williams in Spanish Town, Jamaica in 1945. Growing up in the Waterhouse area of Kingston he attended dances MC'd by the early Djs who would become his inspiration. With confidence and experience he assumed the role of lead DJ with the Sir Mike the Musical Dragon Sound System. It has often been written that his early DJ name, King Cry Cry, was derived form either the pleading nature of his delivery or the righteous content of his lyrics. The actual explanation of the "nom de mic" is much more prosaic.

<strong>Prince Far I</strong>, the Voice of Thunder is a modern day
prophet. He has an entire CD and several tracks of straight scripture
for the Book. With such super mega slams as <em>"Foggy Road",
"Coming In From The Rock", "Water The Garden"</em>
and <em>"Come Again"</em> you can't help but appreciate the
man and his wisdom. You'll mostly hear Prince Far I on our Roots station
but occasionally he plays on the Dancehall stream. Albums to consider
include: <em>Voice of Thunder </em>and <em>Heavy Manners.</em>
