Brutal," Black Uhuru sing on the album's title track, "the whole world is brutal. And so it must have seemed to Duckie Simpson and Puma Jones in 1985. The previous year, the group had won a Grammy for their album Anthem, but they'd crashed from such dizzying heights in a matter of months. The pair were left in the lurch when founding member and main song writer Michael Rose quit to pursue his solo career, and their relationship with Island Records came to an equally unsatisfactory conclusion

By the time Black Uhuru released Brutal in 1986, Junior Reid had replaced Michael Rose as the lead singer, although you'd have been hard pressed to tell the difference at times. Still strongly Rasta, the harmonies still fuelled the sound, and Sly and Robbie still created the sonic backdrop that had moved on from the rockers riddim. Exclusively for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). This album had the unfortunate fate of being created after a series of some the greatest records ever made. Think Sinsemilla, Red, Anthem, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and of course Dub Factor to name a few. Yeah, Michael Rose probably left for the usual rockstar cliches and his empty lead voice spot would be a huge hole.
