DJ pionero del reggae que ayudó a popularizar la técnica del tostado, U-Roy nació como Ewart Beckford en Jones Town, Jamaica, el 21 de septiembre de 1942. Empezó a pinchar en 1961 y trabajó con productores de Kingston como Coxsone Dodd y King Tubby durante toda la década. Su primer sencillo,"Dynamic Fashion Way", se publicó en 1969. Un año después, U-Roy empezó a publicar material para el sello Treasure Isle de Duke Reid, incluido el álbum Version Galore y el éxito pop número 1"Wake the Town" "Rule the Nation" y"Wear You to the Ball" se convirtieron en éxitos del Top 5 en Jamaica ese mismo año, estableciendo a U-Roy como estrella del nuevo movimiento dancehall del país. Pasó la década de 1970 en un torbellino de actividad, colaborando con leyendas del reggae como Peter Tosh, Lee "Scratch" Perry y Bunny Lee, al tiempo que realizaba giras internacionales. Su popularidad pronto se extendió al Reino Unido, donde"Runaway Girl" y el álbum que la acompañaba, Dread in a Babylon, se convirtieron en éxitos en 1975. Natty Rebel apareció en 1976, seguido de Rasta Ambassador en 1977 y Jah Son of Africa en 1978. U-Roy desarrolló más tarde su propio sistema de sonido, Stur-Gav, y se mantuvo activo durante décadas, apareciendo en el álbum True Love de Toots & the Maytals, ganador de un Grammy en 2004, y recibiendo la Orden de Distinción del gobierno jamaicano en 2007. Sus dos últimos álbumes, Pray Fi Di People, de 2012, y Talking Roots, de 2018, reflejaban las creencias rastafaris y la forma de hablar que se habían convertido en los elementos básicos de su música. Tres años después del lanzamiento de Talking Roots, murió en Kingston el 17 de febrero de 2021, a los 78 años.
