Shuffled rhythm gained popularity thanks to the hard work of musicians such as Neville Esson, Owen Grey, The Overtakers & The Matador Allstars. Many studios and record companies who have developed and continue to strive to find new talent. The Jamaican Broadcasting Corporation began stimulating young musicians through events broadcast on the radio. Two people are very influential in the development of music in Jamaica in 50'an was Duke Reid & Clement Seymour Dodd.

While Coxsone closer to the 'Ghetto' (village inhabited certain people or groups) is Reid who was awarded as the 'King of sound & blues' at the Success Club (ceremony) in 1956, 1957, 1958. In 1962, a time when Jamaica is being devoted to imitating American music, Cecil Bustamente Campbell, later known by the name 'Prince Buster', knew that something new is needed at the time. He had his guitarist Jah Jerry who later experimented in music with emphasis' beats' afterbeat 'rather than' downbeat '.

Although Mono Recording facilities are still primitive, is the determination of ska music that enthusiasm will allow for the commercial music of Jamaica for the first time. And the fact that ska was known as Jamaican folk dance music. Throughout the year 60'an ghetto areas of Jamaica filled by young men seeking work. At that time, very hard in the can. At first the boys are not interested in ska music optimism. Young men are creating a group identity as 'Rude Boy' (a trend among the youth has ever occurred in the early period 40'an) Being 'Rude' means to be one where people find it useful. Ska dance style of the Rude Boy has its own characteristics, much more quietly, with the behavior as if to punch someone. Rude Boy has connectivity with 'Scofflaws' (people who always oppose the law) and other criminal world. This is reflected in the lyrics of ska songs. (Note: stylish appearance Rude dress with pants that mengatung only ankle). Ska music once again changed to reflect the 'mood of the rude' with more tension in the bass to suit the style of the previous free-walking bass style '.

Support for not using firearms is reflected in songs like "Lawless Street" from the group Soul Brothers, "Gunmen coming to town" The Heptones. Duke Reid produced one of the ska group The Rude Boys (Shuffling Down Bond Street) CS Dodd, too, produced the young group who envisioned themselves as 'rudies': the group The Wailers (Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer). Prince Buster invented the mythical character Judge Dread Rude. The song "007 Shanty Town" sung by Desmond Dekker is a brilliant work in documenting the behavior of Rude Boy into a song (successfully entered the order of the charts to 14 in the UK Charts) Rude boy themes still dominate throughout the period of ska, and its popularity peaked during the summer of 1964.
