Despite ample run-in’s and beatings by law officers, Tosh persevered to bring his music to an international audience breaking away from the Wailers and embarking on a solo career in 1976. In “Wanted Dread and Alive” we can understand his struggle with adversities of the time – as racial discrimination and prejudice were strongly prevalent in the late 1970s. Back then, radio even slapped a ban on Tosh’s hit “Legalize it” – which is now a modern day ganja anthem. Reggae has been on our radar for a while and amazing bands/artists like Black Uhuru, Steel Pulse, and Junior Gong can all pay homage to the Rasta foundation laid by Tosh in the early stages of his career. With that said, light up your favorite smokeable and enjoy this throwback jam in the name of Rastafari.

As if being one of the godfathers of reggae wasn’t a big enough accomplishment, Peter Tosh can also add brilliant singer/songwriter/composer to name a few. Oh yeah – not to mention being one of the founding members of the Wailers…just to top it off. Devoted Rastafarian, he used his music to channel adversity and promote equal rights.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
