“It is with deep regret and sadness that we have to share with you the news of the passing of Joseph ‘Culture’ Hill. According to Joseph’s daughter, Afraine, who we spoke to from Joseph’s home in Jamaica today, her father died in Germany from liver failure early morning Saturday, August 19th. Hill (born: January 22, 1949) enjoyed a lengthy career in reggae music and is mostly known for his hit ‘Two Sevens Clash.”
The group Culture began recording in 1976 with songs written in response to the State of Emergency declared by the Jamaican government in that year. First known as the African Disciples, the line up of Culture consisted of Joseph Hill on lead vocals, Albert Walker and Kenneth Dayes. Most of the singles ended up on their debut album, Two Sevens Clash. Mr. Hill had over 22 albums to his credit. He will be greatly missed by both fans and peers.”
SOJA would like to send out condolences to all family and friends of Joseph. We are thankful and blessed to have been able to share the stage with you. We thank you for all the inspiration you have given us and we know that you are now resting in Zion.
