Al Beeno
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al beeno (Corrie Moodie) also known as 'Prince Yellowman' is a young Reggae dancehall deejay musician who was born in Kingston, Jamaica. He later moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. His catchy lyrical styles (mixed with hip hop urban beats, also know as ragga) with fast beats earned him the nickname 'Prince Yellowman'. He is an albino, hence the nickname "Al beeno." By some he is considered as the next generation following popular Dancehall artist Yellowman (also known as "King Yellowman") who became popular during the early 1980s throughout the 1990s. As a parallel to Yellowman, Al beeno managed to use his rare skin condition in order to gain fame.
In 1995 Al beeno had successfully opened and performed one of reggae's largest concerts held in Toronto, other guests’ performers included Buju Banton, Bounty Killer and Cocoa Tea. Al beeno's first music video What’s my Name comes from debut new release "The Colour of my Life" and aired 2004.
