Aka IMPERIAL 1!!!!!!
In the latter art of the 1990s, DJ Albert "Alley Cat," Richards decided to hold his own and added the descriptive "Imperial" to his moniker, hit with the probing social commentary "Why" Then it seemed like he disappeared, at least as far as the local scene was concerned but, with the benefit of hindsight, it becomes clear that this period was but part of the artist s overall journey
It was journey that began on the by ways and side streets of Kingston. From childhood, Alley Cat would prowl the inner city, familiarizing himself with the lanes and back alleys, thus earning his name. The journey would continue through "classroom sessions" at Kingston College, and the gauntlet of Tivoli Courts "Sideline" (a ghetto gong show) and then through the gates of Penthouse Studio
Alley Cat returned home in 2003 and set about applying the knowledge and experience gained overseas in the local context Under his Imperial Productions label, he has produced and created rhythms for the likes Chrisintie, Queen Ifrica,Lutan Fayah,Tony Rebel,Movado,Monster Empire, New Kidz, Christopher, Mitch, Terry Ganzie Gentleman and many more reggae artiste
In terms of his own material, Alley Cat has just completed the follow-up to Imperial Level, entitled DANCE HALL KNOWLEDGE VOL.1, and he has also recorded a one-drop album.Concurrently, he has a trove of singles making noise on the scene including ''Mallice'' "Unite Jah People" featuring Luciano "No More Garrison" "All U Got" "World Keeps Turning fet. Tenor Blue" and "Rough Society" the work executive produce by Richie B
