War Ina Babylon Riddim – Unknown Label

War Ina Babylon produced by Lee Scratch Perry, Max Romeo for Unknown Label in 1976

War Ina Babylon Riddim gathers a small but potent set around Lee Scratch Perry and Max Romeo’s 1976 roots classic, with Perry steering the session and the Upsetters backing the vocal cuts. The selection pairs the title track with Black Vest, Fire Fe The Vatican, War Ina Babylon, and the instrumental Revelation Dub, so the mood moves from militant singing to stripped-back studio chemistry. Max Romeo’s presence gives the riddim its centre of gravity, while Perry’s Black Ark-era production keeps everything gritty, echo-heavy, and firmly rooted in the golden age of Jamaican dub.
