His self-titled debut album was released in 1984 as a six-track mini-LP on Island Records. The album included the song “World a Music (Out in the Streets They Call It Merther)”, which was to be sampled by Damian Marley on his 2005 hit “Welcome to Jamrock”. The album was recorded with and produced by Sly and Robbie, with whom he also toured internationally along with Yellowman and Half Pint.
The hooks of Damian Marley‘s 2005 hit, “Welcome to Jamrock”, were sampled from Kamoze’s 1984 track, “World-A-Music”. The opening line – “Out in the streets, they call it merther” – has been sampled in countless drum and bass and dubstep tracks. His dub version of “Here Comes the Hotstepper”, otherwise known as “I’m Steppin’ it Hotter This Year”, released in 1993, remains a dancehall anthem.
