Recorded mostly in Kingston, Jamaica, with noted producers Sly and Robbie, the album is described by Franti as having "a solid reggae feel". Guest musicians include Marie Daulne of Zap Mama and Jamaican soul/dancehall singer Cherine Anderson. All Rebel Rockers spawned the million-selling reggae/dancehall-flavoured single "Say Hey (I Love You)", which peaked at 18 on the Billboard US Hot 100.[5]
