Centron Music (http://www.centronsound.net/) is a
combination artist management and publishing
company and an independent record label. It
started as a touring sound system, a truck with DJ
turntables and booming system where DJs spun new
records and instrumental backing tracks for live
performers from 1985 to 1989. The talent they
worked with included Ninja Man and Shabba Ranks,
amongst other giants of dancehall.
They launched hit dancehall artists like Johnny
P., who shocked the world in 1993 by topping the
U.S. rap and reggae charts. This lead to a
production deal with Relativity Records. They
started doing artist management during this time,
culminating in Centron's CEO Dennis Allen
partnering with and managing superstar Spragga
Benz in the late nineties.
With the release of their new records, Centron is
poised to come up as a company as they present old
and new talent. The artists on the label's two new
releases, Buss Loose and It's All About the Music,
are a virtual who's who of the underground
dancehall scene.
