Solid Gold

U-Roy's final full-length, Solid Gold U-Roy. The album has become a celebration of one of the most profoundly influential reggae stars of his generation. An originator of the chatty rhythmic vocal style known as toasting - a key foundational element in the development of rap in it's nascent stages in the 1970s - U-Roy left behind an unmatched legacy which is clearly on display on Solid gold U-Roy, with it's guest appearances including Ziggy Marley, Shaggy, Mick Jones of the Clash, Santigold, Sly and Robbie, David Hinds of Steel Pulse and more.
