For me the favourite Toasting stylist has to be Ranking Trevor
especially on 'In Fine Style'
This LP has so many good tracks (none bad!) and he manages to make the toasting style sound so appealing.
I like it less when it the Toasting resembles the awful monotonous modern rap style but the man Ranking Trevor has a more melodic stylee.
Also very very good on Presenting Ranking Trevor.
If you like toast with your reggae you gotta listen to that man!
