Natty Dreadlocks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Natty Dreadlocks (synonyms "Natty Dread", "Natty", "Dready" or "Dread") is a Rastafarian term used to describe a member of the Rastafarian community. The term is often used in reggae music and elsewhere to represent an idealised personification of the Rastafari movement as a whole. It combines the term "natty", a variant of the word "native", or a Jamaican pronunciation of the word "Knotty" with a term to describe the characteristic Rastafarian hair style, "dreadlocks".
Examples of reggae albums/tracks featuring the term
- Guess who's Coming to Dinner, an album by Black Uhuru, where the answer to the rhetorical question is "Natty Dreadlocks"
- Natty Dread, a 1974 album by Bob Marley & the Wailers.
- Natty Dread Taking Over, from the debut album Two Sevens Clash by roots reggae band Culture, in 1976.
