He was born on 17 April 1976, in St Mary, Jamaica, of devout Rastafari parents and raised in August Town. He is unusually prolific, even by Jamaican standards. Sizzla has worked with such artists as Mobb Deep.

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.

No wicked man cannot conquer the land of solomon, no babylon cannot conquer di land of the africans
No evil man cannot conquer di land of solomon, it's a black man land it's a black women land

Overall Meaning

resources that lie beneath your soil. But no wicked man, no evil man can conquer the land of Solomon, the land of the Africans. It's a black man's land, it's a black woman's land. Babylon fights the black men for their tings, using drugs and violence to gain control of the resources in the ground. But the guns of Babylon are no match for the power and strength of the African people.

Sizzla laments that the murderer is stealing, killing, and raping his people, dividing them and robbing them of their birthright. He calls on Babylon to leave Africa, to get out of the land they are trying to steal from, to stop the lies and exploitation of the media. He questions why people are dying and why Africa is allowing this to happen. He speaks of repatriation to Ethiopia, Mama Africa, the queen of civilization, a return to the roots and heritage of the African people.

The song is a powerful call to action for the African people to stand up against the oppression and exploitation they face from outside forces. It is a testament to the strength and resilience of the African spirit, and a reminder that no matter what forces may come against them, the land of the Africans will always belong to the black man and black woman.
