Patrick Thompson (4 March 1965 – 21 December 1993), better known as Dirtsman, was a Jamaican dancehall deejay.
Biography
Born in Spanish Town on 4 March 1965, Thompson was the son of the owner of the Black Universal Sound System, and was the brother of deejay Papa San.[1][2]
Although he launched his career with his father's company, he later switched to the Willowdene-based Creation Rock Tower System.[1] Recording since the mid-1980s, Dirtsman's biggest hits were "Thank You", produced by Steely and Clevie and "Hot This Year", produced by New York producer Philip Smart.[1] He signed a contract with BMG but his career was cut short when four gunmen took his life on 21 December 1993.[1][3]
