Together, Isaacs and King Jammy created magic in the studio, blending Isaacs' seductive vocals with Jammy's futuristic production techniques to produce some of the most iconic reggae tracks of all time. Their influence can be heard in the work of countless artists across genres, from hip-hop to electronic music.

So, sit back, light up a spliff, and let the sounds of Isaacs and Jammy take you on a journey through the rich tapestry of reggae music.
