Inspired by the likes of Machuki, King Stitt and Sir Lord Comic, U Roy took their style and boost it to another level.
It's no wonder he conquered the JA charts and in turn inspired many to take up the mike. Dennis Alcapone was probably the only one at the time to cause serious competition to U Roy, but U Roy's style was quite unique.
Another big chapter in Jamaica's rich reggae history now closes. But never to be forgotten.
