Peter Tosh (born Winston Hubert McIntosh; 1944–1987) was a Jamaican reggae musician and a founding member of The Wailers. Known as the "Steppin' Razor," he was the more militant and outspoken contemporary of Bob Marley. He co-founded the group with Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer in 1963. He was a self-taught guitar player and keyboardist who played a crucial role in developing the band's signature sound. After leaving the group in 1974, he released his iconic debut album, Legalize It (1976), which became a worldwide anthem for the decriminalization of cannabis. His lyrics were deeply political, focusing on human rights, African liberation, and the fight against apartheid.
