The gruff voice of dancehall's Mr. G might sound familiar. Before becoming Mr. G, Kingston's Chad Simpson was known as <a href="spotify:artist:1oW9PNWfBmiKMrivyisp0e">Goofy</a> and recorded buoyant, humorous hits like "Fudgie," "Whining Machine," "Brush Yuh Teeth," and "Big Man, Little Youth." Simpson started DJ-ing block parties at the age of 12, collected a massive amount of vinyl in his teens, and worked for the party organizing firm Jampop Ltd. before entering the studio in 1990. While experiencing a string of Jamaican hits under his <a href="spotify:artist:1oW9PNWfBmiKMrivyisp0e">Goofy</a> moniker, the toaster was learning all he could about the studio. "Fudgie" topped the charts in 1996 and opened the doors to new opportunities. Artists like <a href="spotify:artist:3Vszg64mczF1dWEcW2dU5W">Luciano</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6UuT0BJZ9vF8Y1sxXnJl2s">Bounty Killer</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:4L3GTE04bW5N7azA9QPhjA">Beenie Man</a> were now approaching Simpson for production work and in 1999 he started his own label, Young Blood. I Don't Give Damn!! was released the same year under the <a href="spotify:artist:1oW9PNWfBmiKMrivyisp0e">Goofy</a> name, but Simpson wasn't interested in being strictly lighthearted. Changing his name to Mr. G, Simpson continued his production work for others while recording his own demos. S-Curve liked what they heard and released Mr. G's debut, Issues, in 2004. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
