New Vinyl Record – U-Roy – Solid Gold
BMG present U-Roy’s final full-length, Solid Gold. The album was originally set to come out in 2020 with plans for a worldwide tour in support, but unfortunately, the pandemic delayed the release. Now, with the heartbreaking loss of U-Roy on February 17, 2021 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 early stages in the 1970s – U-Roy left behind an unmatched legacy which is clearly on display on Solid Gold, with it’s guest appearances including Ziggy Marley, Shaggy, Mick Jones of The Clash, Santigold, Sly & Robbie, David Hinds of Steel Pulse, Big Youth, Tarrus Riley, Rygin King, Jesse Royal, Richie Spice, and Scientist.
