BABYLON HOMEWORK RIDDIM produced by XTERMINATOR 1998
Babylon Homework Overview
In 1998, a special rhythm was created in the studio. The foundation rhythm was built with care, as the studio hand guided the musicians to find the right sound. Deep basslines and steady drums came together, giving the music a strong roots reggae feeling. The producer behind this project was XTERMINATOR, also known as Philip “Fatis” Burrell. XTERMINATOR was an important figure in reggae music, known for working with many top artists and starting the Xterminator label in the late 1980s. His productions helped shape the sound of roots reggae and dancehall in the 1990s. On this rhythm, Prince Malachi recorded “Healing In The Streets.” Prince Malachi is known for his conscious lyrics and uplifting messages. His song fits the spirit of roots reggae, bringing hope and strength to listeners. Sizzla added his voice with “Babylon Homework.” Sizzla is one of Jamaica’s most respected reggae artists. He is famous for albums like “Black Woman & Child,” which was nominated for a MOBO Award in 1998. His energetic style and message of resistance shine through on this track. Sizzla teamed up with Luciano for “Jah Blessing.” Luciano is sometimes called “The Messenjah” and is known for his powerful voice and spiritual songs. Their collaboration brought together two of reggae’s strongest voices. The Xterminator Crew provided two versions: “Babylon Homework Version” and “Healing In The Streets Version.” These versions let the rhythm stand alone, showing the skill of the musicians and the producer.
