This time it featured samples of Bob Marley & the Wailers' song "Selassie Is the Chapel" (adapted from "Crying in the Chapel"), where Bob and Rita Marley's voices can be heard on a sizeable part of the record, as well as Selassie's original "foundation lead vocal," creating a virtual duet between Haile Selassie I and his apostle Bob Marley.

They include Wailers survivors Aston "Family Man" Barrett on bass guitar and piano, Mikey "Boo" Richards"
