Before He Passed, U-Roy Was Crowned King—This Is That Moment

In this unforgettable ceremony held in Queens, New York, the iconic U-Roy is officially crowned "King of Deejays" by Grammy-winning artist Shabba Ranks, legendary selector David Rodigan, and the Irish and Chin team. With 58 years in the music industry and a legacy that shaped dancehall, reggae, and sound system culture worldwide, U-Roy receives his flowers in front of an adoring crowd and a fraternity of artists inspired by his voice and vision. This archival footage captures a rare and emotional moment in Jamaican music history—raw, real, and full of reverence. More than just ceremony, U-Roy used the moment to deliver heartfelt advice to the youth. #comechatwidmi #ziggiebless #ziggiesehpodcast #reggaemusic Please subscribe    / comechatwidmi   Visit us on the Web at https://www.simplykells.com/index.html come chat wid mi is your go-to New York Caribbean lifestyle magazine, bringing you the best in music, food, entertainment, fashion, and culture with host Ziggie Bless. come chat wid mi previously has aired on Caribbean International Network (CIN), CEEN TV (Canada) and CVM Television (Jamaica) ​ ​ TUNE IN Saturdays 9:00pm ET bricartsmedia.org/1
