U Brown
Huford Benjamin Brown, who performed as U Brown, was a Kingston deejay who released eleven albums between 1976 and 1984, developing a smooth, melodic toasting style over dub-heavy productions from producers like Gussie Clarke. His records helped define the sound of late-1970s roots-into-dancehall deejay culture.
