Major Chubby - more music?
Peace, does anyone know if Major Chubby (does the Jamaican patois on the bridge of "Put it On") has any other music? I really like his style from the little we heard on the feature.

The judges for the competition included Tracey Waples, Puff Daddy, and three directors of A&R, the last of whom would be giving the winner of the battle a demo deal. Mad Skillz placed 2nd, so this was the battle for 1st place. The battle included one 60-second round, with Supernatural ultimately winning and claiming first place. Here is a link to watch part of the entire World Supremacy Battle in 1993, including Supernatural vs. Mad Skillz. It was uploaded to YouTube several years ago and seems to be a VHS rip, though it does contain cuts. The Grimm Reaper, better known now as MF Grimm talks some about his time in the battle in this interview, but unfortunately, no footage of him at the competition seems to be available.

Japanese hardcore punk band "Gasmask" performed live on a talent show broadcasted to TV, sometime around December 10, 1990. I give this date because Gasmask was from Osaka and that date was that date alternative rock band They Might Be Giants played in Osaka on their first tour in Japan. The band viewed the performance from their hotel room, and would later cover the song "Gasmask" at a September 19, 1997 show in Philadelphia. I would love to see the original broadcast performance by Gasmask, performing their self titled song. I think it's likely "Gasmask" was the only song performed, since it was a talent show, but I think two or three is possible.
