One of the most acclaimed reggae DJs to emerge during the early '90s was Terror Fabulous. Compared often to Buju Banton, Fabulous issued several releases during the decade, including such titles as Terror Fabulous, Lyrically Rough, and Gwaney Gwaney. But Terror Fabulous' best-known album remains 1994's Yaga Yaga, his only release for a major label East West. Produced by Dave Kelly, the album spawned such popular tracks as Gangster's Anthem, and featured guest appearances by several other artists, including Maxi Priest (on the track Miss Goody Goody), Wayne Wonder, Daddy Screw, Nadine Sutherland, Brian Gold, Tony Gold, and Gary Minott. In addition to his own releases, Terror Fabulous has popped up on other artists' recordings, including En Vogue - Runaway Love, Luciano - Where There Is Life, and Third World - Reggae Ambassadors: 20th Anniversary Collection, although little was heard from him by the dawn of the 21st century. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
Terror Fabulous is definitely one of the most talented DJs to bless the mic. His albums demonstrate his versatility with well put together blends of reality and rude boy songs. Terror gives us potent lyrical content on tracks like Mr. Big Man, From Birth, Gangsta's Anthem and Number 2. He had one of the first original dancehall songs to gain international popularity, Action, which he did with Nadine Sutherland. Sean Paul's Gimme Di Light was not the first dancehall song to become a hit, Terror Fabulous ran the place with Action back in the early 90s. His album could have done as well as Sean Paul's Dutty Rock album, had it gotten the same promotional support. Terror Fabulous is one of the best Dancehall DJs ever.
