Keith Hudson aka "Dark Prince of Reggae" (⋆ 1946 in Kingston, Jamaica, ₫ 14 Nov 1984 in New York, USA), was a Jamaican reggae producer and singer. He financed his producer career with the money he earned and saved as a dental technician. He started his first label in 1969. He is known for his influence on Dub reggae and his strong Rastafarian lyrics with the idea to use reggae as a universal language for a better world. Due to his limited voice, he delayed his own singing career until 1972. <a
