Raspy Reggae Voices

Hello everyone.
So I'm looking for reggae with raspy dancehall-like voices. I'm not a very big fan of modern reggae, however, I do like the energy of many of the vocalists. Sizzla's Africa Prepare, for example, is a mediocre song with great vocal energy. Are there any artist that play heavy roots reggae, but have raspy dancehall voices?
Thanks

Try Leroy Brown or Mikey Ras-Star.

The raspiest, deepest growling voice may belong (Prince) Pompidou, the self-proclaimed "original rockstone voice". Not a modern DJ (late 70's & 80's), but a fore-bearer of the style you are looking for.

Not really raspy, but does have "great vocal energy", I'd say.

Uglyman has the similar/same rockstone-style. I guess Pampidoo was the originator though?
