About this album

Legalize It is Peter Tosh’s landmark solo debut and one of roots reggae’s most forceful statements. Released in 1976 after his departure from the Wailers, it established Tosh as a formidable artist in his own right, combining militant social commentary, spiritual conviction and relaxed, deeply rhythmic grooves. The title track became his signature song, while cuts such as Burial, Igziabeher (Let Jah Be Praised) and Why Must I Cry show the album’s range from protest to devotion. Its plainspoken politics and unshakeable bass-heavy sound helped make it a touchstone of 1970s reggae and a defining document of Tosh’s uncompromising voice.
