Dub Me Always Ft. Lezlee Lyrix

Born in south London to Jamaican parents, Dr William Lez Henry is a longstanding veteran of sound system culture: under the name Leslie Lyrics, he began chatting on the legendary Saxon sound in 1982, and subsequently became the primary deejay on Ghetto Tone, the south London sound system that had a weekly residency on Railton Road during the 80s. In addition to running his own label, he went on to cut dancehall and jungle material for labels such as Music Of Life and MCS, and enjoyed successful live performances all over the World.

Dr Lez has contributed to numerous books exploring aspects of the British sound system experience and black British identity, including Jesus Dub: Theology, Music and Social Change; Caribbean Narratives of Belonging: Fields Of Relations, Sites of Identity; his own What The Deejay Said: A Critique From The Street; and the forthcoming Youth Culture, Popular Music and the End of Consensus in Post-War Britain; his 2010 film Resisting The System: Reggae in the 21st Century features artists such as Junior Kelly, Turbulence, Papa Levi and Sister Audrey.
