Forerunner of rocksteady (3)

I believe the answer is:

ska

'forerunner of rocksteady' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ska that I've seen before include "popular music" , "Dancehall music" , "Jamaican music style" , "Music genre" , "Jamaican music, forerunner of reggae" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
