Description: Born in Westmoreland, Jamaica, Peter Tosh rose from The Wailers to become one of reggae’s fiercest solo voices. Legalize It (1976) was his debut album, directly confronting global cannabis laws while also addressing deeper issues of poverty and oppression. Songs like “Legalize It” and “Why Must I Cry” reflect the political edge of the Jamaican roots reggae movement, which sought cultural recognition and justice during a period of unrest on the island. The album solidified Tosh’s reputation as a revolutionary figure, making this record not just essential for reggae fans, but for anyone interested in music as a vehicle for protest and cultural identity.
