In the late '70s, Beres Hammond left the band Zap Pow and established a prolific solo career, recording slow-burning lovers rock like "One Step Ahead" and "I'm In Love With You" and later embracing dancehall's drum machines and synths on rougher cuts like "Doctor's Orders." By the '00s, Hammond had punctured Jamaica's borders to become an international star, landing on collabs with Shaggy ("Fight This Feeling") and Big Youth ("Dancehall Vibes").
