It was followed by "Modelling Queen," another JA hit single that appeared on his first album "Bubble Up Yu Hip". Even though it was considered too controversial for radio airplay. "Wah Do Dem" was the 1980 single that made his name in Jamaica. In 1980, he started recording with Joe Gibbs after working briefly with the Papa Roots, Black Ark, Gemini, Jah Life, Black Scorpio and Virgo sound systems. Not only were they made while he was still in college, they were produced by his math teacher Mr. "My Father's Land" and "Creation", his first two releases, came out under his real name in the mid-70s. Hylton's unusual name was originally that of a racehorse upon which he frequently lost money when the horse finally won a race, he had, of course, refused to back it. He has created a style all his own, and gone on to become something of an international phenomenon quite apart from the rest of the world of reggae. It is not only Eek-A-Mouse's 6 feet 6 inches height that make him one of Jamaica's most individual talents. Born: Ripton Joseph Hylton November 19, 1957.
