Al Beeno

Corrie "Al Beeno" Moody also known as "Prince Yellowman" (and not to be confused with (Winston "King Yellowman" Foster) is a young Reggae dancehall deejay musician who was born in Kingston, Jamaica. He later moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. His catchy lyrical styles (mixed with hip hop urban beats, also known as ragga) with fast beats earned him the nickname 'Prince Yellowman'. He is albinistic, hence the nickname "Al Beeno." By some he is considered as the next generation following popular Dancehall artist King Yellowman who became popular during the early 1980s throughout the 1990s. As a parallel to King Yellowman, Al beeno managed to use his rare skin condition in order to gain fame.FixPOV|date=December 2007Fact|date=December 2007
