Sizzla, along with reggae recording artists such as Capleton, Buju Banton, and Anthony B, are credited with leading a movement toward a re-embracement of Rastafarian values in contemporary reggae music by recording material which is concerned primarily with spirituality, social consciousness, explores common themes, such as Babylon's corrupting influence, the disenfranchisement of ghetto youth, oppression of the black nation and Sizzla's abiding faith in Jah and resistance against perceived agents of oppression. Sizzla has over 40 full completed albums sold in record stores to date, the most popular which have been "Black Woman & Child" and "Da Real Thing" on the Digital B label, "Praise Ye Jah" on Xterminator, and "Rise to the Occasion" on Greensleeves.
Recently, however, he has come under fire for the homophobic content of many of his lyrics, and the advocacy of violence against gays.

I'm in love with this song forever and ever!!!. I can't think of a song that can come close to this one and the feeling it gives me. If I ever get married this will be I and my husband's wedding dance song, of course because I said so. When I first heard it on Spotify less than 6 months it was removed. I felt so let down by Spotify, but YouTube and Ms. Anita B. had my back. Thank you so much Sizzla for making such beauty. YouTube and Anita B. thank you and Sizzla again for allowing such beauty. This song makes me remember why and what I am Thankful of and say Thank You for Soooooo Much!!!.

Listen to the complicated bassline.. really good. Riddim bad! Listen to it again but louder if possible - reminds me of when Sly and Robbie was creating tunes
