Born Jamericans

Born Jamericans was a reggae ensemble popular in the middle of the 1990s.

The group was comprised of Mr. Notch and Edley Shine. Notch's voice is smooth and melodic, while Shine's is rougher and tends more toward rapping. Their debut album, "Kids from Foreign", was released in 1994, and following its success the group toured with Buju Banton, Shabba Ranks, Zhane, and Shai.
