Roots Reggae (1974) [Unreleased Album] Ijah Kiongozi and The zion drifters - Chant down babylon

Chant Down Babylon is a powerful roots reggae album steeped in the militant spirit, spiritual fire, and deep consciousness of the 1970s golden era of reggae. Performed by Ijah Kiongozi & The Zion Drifters, this album delivers heavyweight basslines, Nyabinghi-inspired drums, and prophetic lyrics that speak truth to power and uplift the soul.

From the opening chant to the final victory psalm, Chant Down Babylon is a musical sermon against oppression, corruption, and mental slavery. Each track carries the unmistakable sound of classic Jamaican roots reggae—raw, organic, and uncompromising—echoing the voices of the ghetto, the wisdom of Rastafari, and the eternal call for justice and righteousness.

Lyrically, the album confronts Babylon systems, false prophets, and social injustice, while offering messages of resistance, unity, repatriation, and spiritual awakening. The rhythms are slow-burning and meditative, driven by thunderous drum & bass, skanking guitars, warm analog horns, and dubwise textures that feel authentic to the era.

This album is not just music—it is reasoning, chanting, and testimony. Perfect for fans of classic roots reggae, conscious music, and vintage vinyl-era sounds, Chant Down Babylon stands as a timeless reminder that truth, when chanted collectively, can shake even the strongest walls of Babylon.
