Max Romeo Essentials

Max Romeo is renowned as one of the most righteous voices in reggae, but when he debuted in 1968, he became infamous in Jamaica for his sexually explicit lyrics. Joining forces with legendary producer Lee "Scratch" Perry in the early '70s, Romeo changed up his style on a run of politically charged roots albums like 1975's Revelation Time and 1978's War Inna Babylon. Whether smoothly crooning or stridently toasting, Romeo took aim at political corruption and social injustice, and the globetrotting singer continues to deliver his virtuous message to roots fans around the world.
