      U-Roy, born Ewart Beckford, was a pioneering Jamaican vocalist and a true legend in the world of reggae.

His unique style, characterized by melodic scatting and fluid raps, captivated audiences and inspired generations of artists. U-Roy's influence is immense, having transformed toasting from a sound system phenomenon into a globally recognized art form. With a career spanning over six decades, U-Roy's music continues to resonate, offering a rich tapestry of reggae, roots reggae, rocksteady, dub, ragga, and lovers rock. His album "Dread in a Babylon," released in 1975, is a testament to his enduring appeal and musical genius. U-Roy's legacy lives on, his voice and style remaining eternal in the hearts of music lovers worldwide.
