U-Roy was a true reggae pioneer, dubbed The Originator for good reason.
Bursting onto the Jamaican scene in the earliest 1970s, he pioneered the
vocal approach called “toasting,” which in addition to branching out
Jamaican music into a new era, was also heavily influential on an
American genre in its infancy: rapping. U-Roy’s style and charisma are
always on display, and – as with all of his classic records – the groove
rules all. Presented for Record Store Day 2017 on black vinyl with a
poster of the glorious, ganja-drenched cover art, it’s the perfect
chance to revisit one of the more underrated voices in Jamaican musical
history.
