Multiple Grammy award winning performer, Ziggy Marley, has turned his attention to production with the release of Dancehall Originators, a project on which he wears the executive producer's hat.

According to a release sent to THE STAR, the album includes tracks by Chaka Demus, Yellow Man, Buju Banton and many other reggae music stalwarts. The project is the first in a new series of dancehall-reggae albums, designed to pay homage to the groundbreaking original artistes that paved the way for dancehall artistes today.

"Because it so deftly illustrates such an important era of dancehall-reggae history, Dancehall Originators is a must-have for any knowledgeable dancehall devotee, as well as more recent reggae converts," the release stated.

Among the tracks on the album are Hot This Year by Dirtsman, Sweet by Pinchers and Rougher Than Dem by Charlie Chaplin
