Show Notes

 Everyone knows King Tubby and Lee “Scratch” Perry — but why did the man who launched dub into the sci-fi frontier get written out of the story?
Scientist was a teenage genius who turned reggae into an interstellar experience, using sound as protest, prophecy, and power. But instead of being celebrated, he was sidelined — erased from credits, robbed of royalties, and buried beneath the legends he once worked beside.
Why was his name missing from the very albums he engineered?
And what does his story say about how Black innovation is remembered — or erased — by the very industries it revolutionizes?
This isn’t just a story about music.
It’s about silence, theft, resistance — and resurrection.
Have we finally caught up to the future he built in 1981?
Or are we still dancing to echoes of a truth we haven’t dared to face?
