More Info
This debut album captures Massive Dread at an early stage of his career when he was starting to make a name for himself as a unique voice in reggae. The production has that classic late-70s roots vibe--deep basslines, steady drum rhythms, and dub influences mixed with Massive Dread's distinctive vocal style.
