Andrew Barker from Musical Occupation had this to say about Yabby You:

I was shocked and saddened to hear that Vivian “Yabby You” Jackson. He was a great Jamaican artist/ producer. Before I got into “Scratch” Perry and King Tubby, I can remember listening to Yabby You “Jesus Dread” on Vinyl and rocking to the heavy roots. Expect a Yabby You mixtape soon.
