Review by Ana Delmas

U Roy's 354 is a reggae album that showcases the legendary artist's unique style and sound. The album features 12 tracks that are a mix of classic reggae rhythms and U Roy's signature toasting.

Listeners will be transported back in time to the roots of Jamaican music with tracks like "Natty Rebel" and "Chalice in the Palace," while tracks like "Wake the Town" and "Tom Drunk" offer a more contemporary and upbeat sound.

U Roy's effortless flow and lyrical prowess are on full display throughout the album, making it a must-listen for any fan of reggae music. The production quality is top-notch, allowing U Roy's vocals to shine through and take center stage.
