Everything about Dillinger Musician totally explained

ť For other uses of the name, see DillingerDillinger (born Lester Bullocks on June 25 1953, Kingston, Jamaica) is a prominent reggae artist.

As a youth growing up in Kingston, Dillinger would hang around Dennis Alcapone's El Paso Setup. This exposure would eventually lead to work in 1971, as a deejay on the Prince Jackie and El Paso sound systems, initially influenced by Big Youth, U Roy, and Dennis Alcapone, He was part of the second wave of deejay toasters who rose to prominence during the mid 1970s. In 1974, he recorded "Freshly" for Yabby You, and 1975 saw a slew of releases for a variety of producers including Augustus Pablo ("Brace a Boy"), Joseph Hoo Kim ("CB 200") and Coxsone Dodd ("Killer Man Jaro"). Albums for Dodd (Ready Natty Dreadie) and Hoo Kim (CB 200 and Bionic Dread) would soon follow. His hit "Cokane In My Brain" was hugely popular internationally, prompting a follow-up in a similar vein, "Marijuana In My Brain", which was a number 1 hit in the Netherlands. His output dropped somewhat in the mid-1980s but he returned to recording in the early 1990s.
Dillinger was known for his quick wit, humorous lyrics and vulgar content (for example on the track "Crabs In My Pants").
"Cokane In My Brain" was featured on the K-Jah Reggae station in the game .
