Jawara McIntosh, a.k.a. Tosh 1, the son of the late great Peter Tosh, was born in Kingston, Jamaica. At the tender age of five he moved to the United States. Haunted by the murder of his father and continuously perplexed by the unanswered questions surrounding this tragic event, young Tosh desperately sought an outlet in which to discharge his frustration. He quickly developed a love and a passion for the art of rap, and then began to write lyrics of his own.
