"Clement 'Minkie' Moore's introduction to the music business came via his friend the great deejay U Roy. Back in the mid-1970s, Minkie and U Roy were both living in the Tower Hill area of Kingston, and U Roy was resident deejay on King Tubby's sound system. Minkie followed his friend and the sound, and occasionally U Roy let him hold the mic and deejay on Tubby's set. U Roy encouraged Minkie to take music more seriously, and with that encouragement, his first record Wickedness was made. Minkie got a cut of a rhythm from his friend the late Sydney Wilson, and voiced and mixed the rugged deejay tune 'Wickedness' at King Tubby's studio. In 1980, Clement revisited the great rhythm of 'Wickedness,' deciding to this time sing rather than deejay on the rhythm."
