EQUAL RIGHTS
1977

Equal Rights by Peter Tosh, released in 1977, is a cornerstone of roots reggae and a defining statement of Tosh’s uncompromising political vision. Bold and unflinching, the album calls for justice, unity, and liberation—not just in Jamaica, but around the world. With anthems like “Downpressor Man,” “Stepping Razor,” and the iconic title track “Equal Rights,” Tosh demands not peace without justice, but real equality for all people. Fueled by militant lyrics and hypnotic grooves, Equal Rights pairs powerful songwriting with razor-sharp production, solidifying Tosh as both a revolutionary artist and a global voice for the oppressed.
