U-Roy didn’t just join the music scene… he changed it. Before him, DJs talked between the records. After him, DJs became the main event. U-Roy, born Ewart Beckford, pioneered the art of toasting — rhythmic talking and chanting over riddims — a style that would evolve into dancehall, sound system culture, and even influence hip-hop worldwide. | Reggae Appreciation Society | Facebook
