Raggamuffin is a kind of reggae that focuses on spoken words very much like rap does. The ragga rapper is called toaster or dee jay, early dee jays were [I Roy]?, [U Roy]? and Dillinger?; Yellowman? laid foundations to modern raggamuffin and people like [Buju Banton]?, Supercat?, Ninjaman? and [Shabba Ranks]? were top dee jays in the 1990s. Musically, raggamuffin is characterized by often very basic beats, which dub? poet [Linton Kwesi Johnson]? links to its African roots.
