Keith Hudson is one of reggae's most enigmatic producers, and his dark, brooding mixes quickly earned him the title "The Dark Prince of Reggae." In the trifecta of innovate dub albums that began with the classics PICK A DUB and BRAND, NUH SKIN UP is the final installment of the series and is sure to secure Hudson's legendary status amongst the dub cognoscenti. Stripped-down rockers grooves provide the rhythmic foundation for Hudson's synapse-rattling effects. Alternately stark and bristling with activity, NUH SKIN UP is a scintillating excursion to the outer fringes of reggae.
