Steppin' Razor: The Life of Peter Tosh

Steppin' Razor: The Life of Peter Tosh

The very first biography of Peter Tosh, rude boy, founder member of The Wailers and a compelling recording artist in his own right.

Tosh was Jamaicaâ€™s most controversial reggae star. A fiery advocate of Rastafari and African nationalism as well as the legalisation of marijuana, his uncompromising political stance won him a reputation as Jamaicaâ€™s Malcolm X.

Now revered second only to Bob Marley among reggae audiences worldwide, Tosh was awarded the Order of Merit, Jamaicaâ€™s third highest honour, as the nation celebrated 50 years of Independence.

Based on hundreds of interviews with those who knew Peter Tosh best, including Bunny Wailer and close associates, here are the stories behind hits like â€˜Legalise Itâ€™, â€˜Equal Rightsâ€™, â€˜Get Up Stand Upâ€™ and â€˜Johnny B. Goodeâ€™; Toshâ€™s infamous appearance at the 1978 One Love Peace Concert; and his now legendary adventures with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

One of reggaeâ€™s most extraordinary stories, the life of Peter Tosh came to an end when he was brutally murdered in 1987 amidst rumours involving the supernatural and Kingstonâ€™s criminal underworld. This is his story.
