Most famous for the iconic song “Pass The Dutchie,” Keep On Kicking Music is one of the world’s foremost roots reggae catalogues, with legendary songs recorded by artists such as Musical Youth, Toots & The Maytals, The Mighty Diamonds, Shaggy, UB40 and Simply Red. Songs from the catalog have been sampled by major artists including Black Eyed Peas, Missy Elliot, Cee Lo, Young MC, Chingy and Wyclef Jean.
