We pause to pay full tribute to The Originator, Ew

We pause to pay full tribute to The Originator, Ewart Beckford O.D., Daddy U-Roy - Sept. 21, 1942 to February 17, 2021. Known for hits like Wake the Town, Rule the Nation and Wear You to the Ball, Daddy U-Roy was an iconic toaster and a Jamaican Dancehall Deejay pioneer whose career began in the early 1960s. His Version Galore album released by Trojan Records in 1970 shifted the paradigm of Jamaica's musical landscape. Daddy U-Roy's success paved the way for many deejays of that era and beyond. His music and style earned him a huge following in the UK. In 2007 he was awarded the Order of Distinction from the Jamaican Government for his contribution to music. You've left us a great legacy Godfather of Dancehall and Hip Hop. Rest well Daddy U-Roy. Our sincere condolences to your family, friends and fans. #dancehall #daddyuroy #hiphop #rap #reggae #jamaica #uk #music
