One Man Against The World fully captures the sparkling creative relationship between reggae vocalist Gregory Isaacs and Roots DJ and producer Tappa Zukie, expanding on 1988’s Red. The two Kingston-born figures, who each used the thriving musical communities to escape their harsh origins, also had shared experiences in both founding record labels Isaacs’ African Museum was the catalyst for their first collaboration, as a way of funding the imprint, and Tappa Records became the home for many of Isaacs’ tracks featured here, including the urgent title track.
