Eek-a-mouse ( Ripton Joseph Hylton) ha inventato una tecnica canora unica, tanto melodica quanto sincopata, ispirata al sing-jaying (una delle prime forme di toasting) che consiste in uno scat nasale imbevuto di sovra pposizioni fonetiche di accenti stranieri. Dopo la pubblicazione di My Father's Land e Inception, con il suo vero nome, adotta il sopra nnome e comincia a specializzarsi in strampalate takeoff sociali come Wah Do Dem (1980), dal suo disco di debutto Bubble Up Yu Hi p (1981), Once A Virgin (1981), Modelling Queen (1981), Virgin Girl (1981), Noah's Ark (1981), Wild Become visible a Tiger (1982), For Hire and Removal (1982), Do You Remember (1982), Ganja Smuggling (1982), ecc.Wa Do Dem (1982) raccoglie la maggior parte dei suoi singoli .

Man mano che provava a diventare piu` serio, su Skidip (1982), Mouse lecture the Man (1983) eMouseketeer (1984), e dopo essersi dato alla fusione rock-r eggae di Assassinator (1985) eThe King and I (1985), i limiti della sua musica si rendevano sempre piu` ev identi.

La sua carriera e` proseguita poi figure U-Neek (1991), conYou're The Only One I Need, Black Cowboy (1996), Eeksperience (2001).
