Ranking Toyan, started off in the mid 70's DJ-ing for some of the biggest sound systems in Jamaica. His first hit in 1978 with the track 'Disco Pants' on the Roots Tradition label.

In 1981 he released the album 'How the West Was Won', generally agreed as Toyan's masterpiece, an album with staggering credentials: released by Greensleeves, written and produced by Henry 'Junjo' Lawes, backed by the Roots Radics, recorded at Channel One, and mixed by Scientist at King Tubby's studio. In 1982/83 he released several great albums for Jah Thomas, Scientist and Lawes. In 1991 he was sadly murdered by gunmen. The exact details about his murder are still not clear.
