Gold vinyl. "Trojan Jamaica/BMG is proud to announce the release of U-Roy's final full-length, Solid Gold U-Roy. 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, 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 its nascent stages in the 1970s -- U-ROY left behind an unmatched legacy which is clearly on display on Solid Gold U-Roy, with its guest appearances including Ziggy Marley, Shaggy, Mick Jones of The Clash, Santigold, Sly & Robbie, David Hinds of Steel Pulse, and more."
