Johnny Clarke has admitted that Earl Zero originally sang the song but some time after Zero had actually recorded the vocals for the song they somehow went missing or were mysteriously erased. Johnny then stepped in and re-did the vocal part of the cut. Earl did eventually re-release the track later.

So Clarke's version came out first due to Zero's vocals disappearing off the track.

lol!! how many times has this been discussed before, check Blood+Fire forum, but there search engine seems to be crap recently, theres a few threads about it over there. But it is Earl Zero apparently.

Did anyone here about the discussion about Satta Massa Gana, how the tune featured in the soundtrack to the batman movie years before the abbysinians did it!!lol i didn't think they where that similar but was funny.

There's also a Jacob Miller cut on the riddim with similar lyrics... called "Zion Gates". Came on an attack gold 10 inch I think.
