" Lick Off A Shot "

Jamaican toasters I Roy, U-Roy, Dennis Alcapone, and many others laid down the foundation for modern day M.C.ing......If you listen closely to the cadence and patterns that these guys were using back then- it is obvious that they were true masters of ceremony years before Hip Hop was conceived....

Unfortunately their major contributions to the art form are still overlooked by the masses .....

In this book (Small Axe Deejays) by Ray Hurtford & Joakim Kalcidis they go into detail how influential certain dancehall artist were in regards to Hip Hop......It's a interesting read that will hold your attention and provide you with critical information.....
