Description

Yellow’s accomplishments are significant because he was anything but sexy and successful early on in his life. In fact, his mother tried to throw him away in a dumpster for being a dundus—albino in Jamaican patwa. Winston Foster, the bwoy, was born in 1957 and came of age at Alpha Boys School, a Catholic-run institution for what used to be called “wayward children.” Alpha produced piles of musicians, providing a foundation for the development of ska and reggae-- and, through Yellowman, dancehall.
