Zion Gates Overview

The Zion Gates Riddim, released in 1998, stands out as a classic example of creative dancehall arranging.

This musical approach helped shape the direction of dancehall at the time, making the collection memorable for fans and DJs alike. Anthony B is one of the key artists on this collection. His track, "Live in Love," shows his powerful voice and positive message. Anthony B is well known in reggae and dancehall for songs like "Fire Pon Rome" and for his album "Universal Struggle," which received international attention.

He is recognized for his smooth singing style and was a member of the legendary reggae group The Tamlins. His solo work, including this track, highlights his talent and ability to connect with listeners. Maffia and Fluxy contribute the "Version" track, showing off their skills as top UK reggae and dancehall musicians.
