It is a collection of singles recorded between 1975 and 1982 for both the Rockers and Message record labels.

It features Robbie Shakespeare on bass guitar, Earl "Chinna" Smith on guitar and Horsemouth Wallace on drums. Pablo produced the album and played melodica, piano, organ, xylophone and string synthesizer.

The songs were both recorded and mixed at Harry J and King Tubby's Studios in Kingston, Jamaica.

Much like the previous album, Earth's Rightful Ruler, the title of this album is in reference to Haile Selassie I, the former Emperor of Ethiopia and a figure who many Rastafarians believe was a descendant of King David, the ancient King of Israel.

A 2006 release by Shanachie featured three added bonus tracks.
