- Official Dancehall Reggae Sound Clash: Killamanjaro vs David Rodigan [New York] 1997
Born Garfield Mckoy, in St. Mary Jamaica, Ricky Trooper is considered a living legend of Sound Clash. Hailing from the Mighty Killamanjaro Sound system, Ricky Trooper is responsible for the "Death" (Career ending) of many sounds.
Ricky started playing for a couple of sounds before joining "Jaro Sound". When he started he had no stage name. When he was young he was a member of a band called the "Magnificent marching band of Troopers". So when he became a selector his former band members called him "Trooper". Eventually after playing for several sounds, Trooper built his own sound and partnered with Papa San, another living legend of Dance hall music. But Ricky`s fame, stardom, and his very name ("Ricky" Trooper), all came from his time spent as selector of the world famous "Killamanjaro Sound System".
Founded in the summer of '69 by Noel Harper aka Papa Jaro, Kilimanjaro which is named after the tallest mountain in the world, became a legend in the Sound System culture. Jaro began as a foundation sound, collecting Studio One riddim`s and Treasure Isle hits. The sound`s name Kilimanjaro, was later changed to Kill-a-man-jaro, on behalf of the many sound system careers they ended in "musical war".
In the early '70s dee jays would play on the big sound systems of Jamaica. Through the '70s and early '80s, the likes of Super Cat, Early B, and Burro Banton could be seen playing on, and "toasting" (chatting) over the riddims played by the Mighty Killamanjaro sound system. Jaro soon became a legendary sound, known for playing the most foundation tunes. Jaro had a whole host of selectors, but it was Ricky Trooper who would join Jaro and show the world the strength of the tallest mountain....!!!
When Garfield Mckoy (Trooper) joined Jaro, Junior Cat was a dee jay for Jaro and he didn't have his famous name (Ricky Trooper) yet. Junior Cat spoke with a lisp and he couldn't properly pronounce "Trooper". So as he would introduce Trooper on stage to play, he would call him "Ricky", hence the legend of Ricky Trooper began.
For over 35 years David Rodigan has been the top dog in the ganja-scented, bass heavy-atmosphere of Britain’s reggae dance-halls. The key to his success has been an unsinkable passion for reggae music, which first took a hold of him as a schoolboy when he heard ska music in the early ’60s.
He developed an obsession with the music of Jamaica that generated an encyclopaedic knowledge of the island’s every artist, every song and every rhythm track.
His earliest experience of dee jaying was during lunch breaks once a week in the gym at Gosford Hill School in Kidlington, Oxford. On leaving school he landed a place at the Rose Bruford College of Speech and Drama in 1971, where he spent three years studying to become an actor. He worked extensively in repertory theatre and appeared in a number of television productions such as ‘Doctor Who’ (BBC) and ‘Shackleton’ (BBC); he also performed his one-man show ‘Zima Junction’ at literature festivals and theatres in the 1970s; a dramatisation of the poem by the Russian writer Yevtushenko.
Rodigan began his reggae broadcasting career in 1978 on BBC Radio London. He moved to Capital Radio in 1979 and remained there for eleven years broadcasting his legendary ‘Roots Rockers’ show every Saturday night. His credibility was ensured when he began clashing with Jamaica’s champion DJ, Barry G on JBC Radio in Jamaica. He then went on to clash with all the top Jamaican sound systems in the West Indies, the USA and England and in 2012 he won the ultimate clash victory when he took the Champion Trophy at World Clash Reset in New York.
In 1984 he joined BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Corp) where broadcast his weekly reggae show for 25 years until 2009.
In 1990 he joined the newly legalised Kiss 100 where he presented a variety of daytime shows for 10 years before kicking back to his weekly reggae show, which he broadcast for another 12 years until 2012. Having seen his show reduced from 2 hours to 1 hour in 2011 he resigned in protest at the marginalising of reggae music when the show was re-scheduled into the twi-light zone of broadcasting, midnight - 1am in November 2012.
In February 2013 he joined the BBC to present a new weekly reggae show on Radio 1Xtra on Sundays between 7 and 9pm and also a summer season of classic ska, rock steady and reggae on BBC Radio 2.

Fully sick, best of the best both sounds, jaro edge it for me.
Rodigan has a real love for the music the culture. He's a real music enthusiasts he can tell you the date, artist, label name etc. Ricky Trooper thinks it's all about "bad man ship" and cussing.
Couldn't agree more, Rodigan behaved like a gentleman all the time
@@breezyobeatz lol this is not cricket its sound clash no room for gentlemen 🤣🤣🤣
Respect for this footage 👍🏾
love that grittiness of vinyl sound !!!
Don Sinclair I have this vhs under lock & key ...big clash

They should always film crowd, now where get live like a Jamaican crowd, love to Jamaica every time
5:35
that song playing
to be trust to be loved is beautiful
Rodigan smashed it :)
That cricket intro though.........!! Jokes.
I'm no expert on Sound Clash culture, but it seems pretty difficult, even next to impossible to defeat a system with dub plates from Bob Marley, Dennis Brown and Tenor Saw... Am I correct?
It’s definitely not difficult but can be very tedious! No sound in the world has a Bob Marley dubplate. If you have talent & correctly voiced dubs, you can indeed be a deadly musical force.
Ricky trooper one of the best selectors in Jamaica but Rodigan was the better selector on the day.
lol
Manjaro shout too much too long and boring dubs.....rodigan da man wins this one easy.
Hard
which big song rodigan play? Half the songs trooper played are still played in clash today what are you saying?
Yes you right there
Wicked selector ...trooper is the best
This ah di dance weh Rodigan Kill Tropper and Cat inna di dance!!! World need to remember that Rodi kill Jaro when at this point everyone else couldnt.. big up legends

Trooper definitely over powered Rodigan
But he created a bad vibe at the end with "White boy Rodigan" But more of a disrespect is when Trooper put his hand on Rodigans shoulder while dissing him. Oh well.......
Rodigan......
Sound clash takes no prisoners! !!!!!
13:45 🔥🔥🔥
Jaro Won IMHO...Culture!
Trooper ever learn anything he could be the undisputed. Listen sometimes and you'll learn

Legend : Mr. David Michael Rodigan!
Rodigan ah de Boss
Sorry Jaro but you got dusted by Rodigan Serious though I couldnt go to these sound clashes, they play wicked tunes for 10seconds then stop, it would do my head in. One last ting you would think after all those years playing reggae Rodigon would have learned to move in step with the tunes
Rodigan is the best no guy test
Di Bald head nah gold pon his head Rodi gor gon , original strut...
What is the riddim at 25:15
23:26 Cricket intro. Pretty sure this was used as a sports sig tune on Caribbean radio. Anyone know the name of the tune?
Dont think any one would know u probably have to contact the cricket board for info
Mildred Hermon It's cool. I found out it's actually a track called "Soul Limbo" by Booker T and the MGs.
do you have the full video footage?
😮☝️wow jaro droppin nuff dubs
Legendary Killamanjaro Vs David Rodigan 1997
Kilimanjaro acts like a dick in this video !
Innercitybuddha With ya on that! Arrogant poser. I think someone peed in his Cheerios.
Innercitybuddha That's what dance-hall is. Its hardcore musical / lyrical war. Its not an intellectual respectful affair with quality selections.
In Jamaica David Rodigan would be loved and appreciated but not considered a hardcore dance-hall selector.
gelsport01 someone really doesn't get what a sound clash is... Its like going to rap battle and complaining about harsh language.
Really angry for a guy who claims to be Buddah... Maybe you need to move out of the inner city. But I wasn't talking about your comment.
2023 🎉
Fuck me finally found the name of the tune at 27:45. It's Stitchie - Big Treat.
+LSD 27:00 Playground Riddim Dub Don yute??? The Name??
Kenth Zg
No idea mate, sorry. I remember coming across a forum with people looking for that tune though.
www.bloodandfire.co.uk/db/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=43687
Doesn't sound like Living in a Dream to me.
+LSD Not the same :/
Anyone with full cut of this clash
big respect pour Kéry James.
Big up the great Jim kelly Kilamanjaro foundation Junior Kelly bredda and my big cousin remember when mi use to come a red pond for jam wid u or you come check wi a willodene.... gone but not forgotten mi family
+Bentley Brooks Respect in every aspect many blessings
Raspect 2 both King Kila and Sir David..... Foundation of so much music nowadays...
RODIGAN A TRUE LONDON KING AND FOUNDATION FRIEND!!
Trouper made this about race because he knew he was losing… Shame on him. I think that Stitcie dub hurt Trouper. He switched after that dub,making it a black v white thing….and you could see the sadness in Rodigans face after that. If you have to do that to win clash, you’ve already lost.
Low from Trouper…Very low!
True
RODIGAN WIIN KING SOUND!!! UP UP BOOSS
41:50??? SELASSIE EVERYTIME AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN, what Is this tune wow im blown, my coffee is shaking rn!!!!
