This cornerstone of roots reggae brings together an unmatched lineup of legends, including Sly & Robbie, Earl ‘Chinna’ Smith, and other members of the era's finest rhythm sections. Guided by Tappa Zukie’s production, the album resonates with deep, spiritual themes and richly layered soundscapes characteristic of its Black Ark and King Tubby's origins.
This 2024 reissue on Lantern Rec. revives the enduring magic of Heaven Is My Roof for a new generation of listeners. With its authentic blend of classic reggae grooves and conscious lyricism, the album showcases Prince Alla’s stirring vocals alongside timeless contributions from Jamaica’s roots pioneers, making it a vital listen for fans and collectors alike.
