The Origins of Hip Hop - Jamaican Sound System Toasting
"Freedom Train" by U Roy chanting over The Heptones version of "God Bless The Children" (released in JA 1972 on the Pressure Beat label by Joe Gibbs).
Definition: Toasting is a style of lyrical chanting which, in Dancehall music, involves a deejay talking over a riddim. Though the art of chanting over a beat is quite ancient, and found in many African-based musical traditions, toasting became quite popular in Jamaica in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and "sound systems" (traveling deejays and producers with large speakers and a library of beats and riddims) would feature toasting as part of their musical entertainment.(Via.)
Toasting is not only important in Jamaican music, but also featured heavily in the development of American popular music, as it was Jamaican-born toaster DJ Kool Herc who brought the style to Queens, subsequently setting off the entire history of rap and hip-hop music.

The People's Poseur Presents: Whatchu Know Bout... Stylez N' Kardo?
(Via.)
If you aren't already on them - and you should be - let me introduce you to SK! a.k.a. Stylez N' Kardo.
SK! Google Girl - Stylez N' Kardo [The People's Poseur] by The People's Poseur
SK! So Sexy - Stylez N' Kardo [The People's Poseur] by The People's Poseur
You can check out their current website here or become a fan on Facebook here.
Click here to get the first single "Google Girl" off their forthcoming album on iTunes.
Get on the bandwagon now because a little birdie told me that multiple record labels are looking into them and they've already been on tour with Sean Paul here in the U.S.
Next month Stylez N' Kardo will be doing the "Google Girl" music video shoot and I, (that's right, me the humble People's Poseur), will be there doing photography for SK! and giving you behind the scenes access here and for their new currently-under-construction website. Check back for more.
YouTube Channel here.
