Born For A Purpose Riddim – Unknown Label

Born For A Purpose produced by Dr. Alimantado for Unknown Label in 1977

1977 roots reggae from Dr. Alimantado, Born For A Purpose Riddim links his own production credit to a small but sharp three-track lineup on Unknown Label, with the title cut Born For A Purpose (Reason For Living) joined by Still Alive and Jah Stitch’s Dread Locks History. Alimantado’s Born For A Purpose was recorded as a comeback-era single after his 1976 road accident and later became one of his best-known tunes, and Jah Stitch brings extra weight here with one of the era’s most durable voices. The release keeps that late-’70s Kingston feel alive, and the title song’s message-driven hook gives the riddim its strongest identity.
