British reggae singer and DJ known for his “fast chat” style, David Victor Emmanuel (10 February 1963 – 15 March 2011) known as SMILEY CULTURE. He died on 15 March 2011, aged 48, during a police raid on his home. An inquest found that his death was a suicide.
Released towards the end of 1984, this track was the supposedly autobiographical tale of how Emmanuel was arrested for the possession of cannabis, but then let off in return for an autograph when the policeman recognised him as a famous reggae artist.
