"Jah Woosh was one of Jamaica's most distinctive early reggae deejays, emerging in the 1970s as the art of toasting became a defining part of reggae music. Born Neville Beckford in Kingston, he first gained recognition as a sound system deejay before breaking through with the powerful single 'Angela Davis.' During the mid-1970s, he recorded extensively for producers including Rupie Edwards, Clive Chin, Keith Hudson, and Channel One, releasing a string of influential singles and albums. His debut LP Jah Woosh reached number one in the reggae album charts and established him as a leading voice of the era. The album Rebellion also features vocalist Sis Bee, whose spirited responses to Jah Woosh add a unique dynamic. Later, through his work with Adrian Sherwood and the Creation Rebel collective, Jah Woosh remained an important figure in roots reggae."
