Iconic reggae and dancehall producer, King Jammy (Lloyd James), digs into his master recording archive and brings the legendary Gregory Isaacs' late 1980s/1990s catalog to a new generation by pairing him with veterans Shaggy, Sean Paul, Bounty Killer, Junior Reid, Chaka Demus, Alborosie, Bunny General, and Ras Shiloh and now generation artists Jesse Royal, Projexx, Aza Lineage, Ras Demo, Brandon The Messenjah, Claire Angel, and Flinix.

King Jammy, Producer

Born Lloyd James and initially known as Prince Jammy, he became the undisputed King when digital production took over Jamaican music in the mid-1980s. His influence on the development of dub music and reggae production is incalculable.

Having refined his mixing acumen under his mentor King Tubby in the late 70s, Jammy developed his own aesthetic as reggae turned the corner into the 1980s, enhanced by access to the most relevant new artists from his neighborhood of Waterhouse. First with Black Uhuru, then with an array of singers including Johnny Osbourne, Barry Brown, Junior Reid, and most famously Wayne Smith, whose "Under Mi Sleng Teng" is considered transitional marker in a globally influential continuum of music.

By the 1990s, King Jammy's productions and his soundsystem were synonymous with reggae and dancehall itself. He has also overseen one of the most successful clashing soundsystems in the world for three decades and was honored with a tribute set at Reggae Sumfest 2023 in Jamaica.

Gregory Isaacs - Singer, Cool Ruler

Gregory Isaacs, OD, (1951-2010) is one of the most important and prolifc singers in Jamaican music history. His "Night Nurse" (1982) is one of the most popular and recognizable songs in the entire reggae cannon, streaming more than 100 million, as of 2023. One of the cream of reggae's gifted crop of singers to emerge in the 70s, he remained relevant for decades, finding his stride at the apex of the Lovers Rock era, with "Night Nurse," "Top Ten," "My Only Lover," and "Soon Forward" helping define the genre. He stayed at the top of the game as reggae embraced digital production, with the iconic "Rumours" for Gussie Clarke.

Once Bitten

16 Unchained – Robbie Lyn

He's a victim of his own doing, he's got no one else to blame.
Who knows which one is bound for ruin? He just keeps on playin' the game.
When the battle lines get drawn, he'll be moving on.
Who knows where he's gone?
Just another one nobody knows.

She’s been searching but never finding, she keeps on looking her way back home.
Not the first one that needs defining. She is never left alone.
But it looks like she’ll be stayin’ with a needle in her vein.
Might be her last refrain.
Just another one nobody knows.

Out there in the valley there's a young girl standing on the street.
No one keeps a tally - no one knows how many they meet.

He knows better, but they can't stop him. He's laser-focused, he's on fire.
A real go-getter with hocus pocus. A rising star, a natural flier.
He's a rising millionaire, he's going somewhere,
But he forgot to care
Just another one nobody knows.

Out there in the valley there's a young girl standing on the street.
No one keeps a tally - no one knows how many they meet.
Out there in the canyon someone's searches for companionship gone wrong.
That's the way the story goes, another one nobody knows is gone.

He's a victim of his own doing, he's got no one else to blame.
Who knows which one is bound for ruin? He just keeps on playin' the game.
Just another one nobody knows.
