H.R.

H.R. ("Human Rights") is the stage name of Paul D. Hudson, the lead singer of the influential punk-reggae band Bad Brains. Earl Hudson, the band's usual drummer, was H.R.'s brother.

As a result, he experienced an extensive solo career, gaining a reputation as an impressive singer and dynamic perfomer, with numerous reggae albums released on SST Records.
