kingwill86 & hitman1263- Supercat shot him outside of super power records in Brooklyn in 1989. Apparently, Nitty's gun jammed and supercat shot him dead. He was arrested but no one would testify. It was right before he blew up in America with Ghetto Red Hot
@jdosia wasnt 89' baby, it was 91' but you right supercat shot nitty, some say nitty gun jam, anyway long story short there was beef over money and respect. for anyone who dont know, nitty had a pace maker and after the shot(s) ? thing wouldnt work properly and nitty die there on the sidewalk, RIP legend
to hear the far east check- ninja man/nice up the lawn - buju banton- murderer . the song that named the rythm was barry brown's. but even that was versioned off a studio one track. leroy smart also has a nice tune on the far east.. peace

It's the far East produced by Sugar Minott, early 80, there's also, a Don Carlos and a Ashanti Waugh on it.
True, it's originally a studio one riddem by Roland Alphonso called "Jah Shakey", it became popular by Barry Brown's far east tune on channel one.
Some say the channel one cut is the original and Coxsone recorded his own after.
