Well supported

Anthony Red Rose is a Jamaican dancehall singer-deejay whose 1985 tune 'Tempo', recorded in one take after King Tubby overheard him rehearsing it and produced by King Jammy, gave its name to the widely versioned Tempo riddim and became a foundation record of the Waterhouse digital-dancehall style. He later co-founded the production label How Yu Fi Say Dat with fellow deejay Anthony Malvo.
