A posthumous album from late dancehall and reggae icon U-Roy has been announced, featuring guest spots by Santigold, Ziggy Marley, The Clash‘s Mick Jones and others. ‘Solid Gold U-Roy’, which drops July 16 via Trojan Jamaica/BMG, features the late vocalist’s classics as well as a cover of the reggae standard ‘Man Next Door’ with Santigold.

We lost reggae, dancehall and toasting pioneer U-Roy earlier this year, but he had a new album, Solid Gold U-Roy, waiting in the wings that will now be posthumously released July 16 via Trojan Jamaica/BMG. The album, which was originally due out last year but got pushed due to the pandemic, features U-Roy taking on reggae classics with a host of collaborators, including Big Youth & Mick Jones (The Clash), Sly & Robbie's Robbie Shakespeare, Shaggy, Ziggy Marley, Steel Pulse's David Hinds, Scientist, Jesse Royal, and more.

Tony Santillan - 4.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 7 K. The Bats did not live up to their namesake last night, falling 2-1 to Columbus. Tony “Santigold” Santillan was fantastic in his AAA debut, striking out 7 and walking none in 4 innings of work. The lone run he allowed was unearned. The bullpen was also solid, with Hector “I hardly knew her” Perez and Brad Brach each throwing a scoreless inning in relief.
