In a recent interview on Mr. E's Southside Bosses show, Jamaican reggae artist Lincoln Prophet dives deep into his musical roots, tracing his path from his Jamaican upbringing to international recognition.
Born Weithney Reid in Saint Elizabeth Parish, Lincoln's passion for music blossomed early. After immigrating to the US at 14, music became his constant companion. Even during his military service, Lincoln gravitated towards reggae, collaborating with established artists like Sugar Minott and Frankie Paul.
The year 1991 marked a turning point. With laser focus, Lincoln embarked on a full-time music career. Experimenting with diverse styles and lyrical approaches, he landed his first vinyl production alongside Corporal Tim. His talent resonated with audiences both in the US and Jamaica, where he seamlessly blended reggae with emerging hip-hop influences.
Back in Jamaica, Lincoln's star continued to rise. He signed with the prestigious Youth-man Promotion and Black Roots Production, joining the ranks of reggae greats. His dedication to his craft resulted in hits like "Destined to Win" and a loyal fanbase.
Today, Lincoln Prophet remains a prominent figure in the reggae scene. He continues to perform extensively in Jamaica, his adopted home, and recently signed a new deal with JZ Wonder. Fans can listen to his latest tracks, including "My Crew" and "Golden Rule," on iTunes and Spotify.
