The concept of the underdog, Daniel Dubois, is a powerful narrative that aligns perfectly with the resilience and strength often celebrated in reggae music. Macka B’s lyrics highlight Daniel’s strength and determination, both spiritual and physical that attributed to Daniel’s meteoric rise. The remake of the track, with the legendary Prince Alla revoicing the vocals and Grammy award winning Jazzwad handling the music, gives it a fresh yet authentic reggae vibe. The track was mixed by esteemed Jamaican engineer Mark Topsecret.
