Reggae icon Macka B has unleashed a powerful new anthem, Daniel in the Lions’ Den, celebrating IBF World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Dubois and his triumphant rise from underdog to king of the ring. |

An exciting collaboration! Reggae legend Macka B's new single, Daniel in the Lions’ Den, celebrates Boxer Daniel Dubois' victory in overcoming adversity to become the IBF World Heavyweight Champion. The song draws inspiration from the Biblical story and the iconic 70’s Roots Reggae anthem Daniel in the Lions' Den by Prince Alla. It is a unique blend of modern sports triumph and reggae music tradition. |

The official music video, shot inside Dubois’ gym, captures the champion’s relentless training, with Macka B himself delivering the track alongside him. |

The concept of the underdog, Daniel Dubois, is a powerful narrative that aligns perfectly with the resilience and strength often celebrated in reggae music. Macka B’s lyrics highlight Daniel’s strength and determination, both spiritual and physical that attributed to Daniel’s meteoric rise. The remake of the track, with the legendary Prince Alla revoicing the vocals and Grammy award winning Jazzwad handling the music, gives it a fresh yet authentic reggae vibe. The track was mixed by esteemed Jamaican engineer Mark Topsecret. |

"Daniel Dubois is living proof that no matter how many times people count you out, if you believe in yourself and fight with everything you've got, you can become a champion. This song is more than music—it’s a war cry for every underdog out there!” | – Macka B |

More About Prince Alla | Prince Alla aka Keith Blake began his recording career with producer Joe Gibbs as part of the Leaders vocal group during 1967/8. Blake remained with Gibbs, who produced his first solo recording, ‘Woo Oh Oh’. In 1969, he became strongly involved in the Rastafarian movement, living in the island’s camp community until the mid-70s, when he re-emerged through Bertram Brown’s Freedom Sounds with a series of records that have since proved landmarks in the history of roots music. As Prince Allah, he recorded ‘Sun Is Shining’, ‘Mama Don’t Fight’ and ‘Come Away’, all featured on the Ethiopian Kings compilation, which described him as: ‘The singer that has ability to capture the musicians, and have them play whatever he wants. A truly talented young man. With great promise for the future’. The prediction proved to be true, with classic recordings over the following years, such as ‘Bucket Bottom’, ‘Lot’s Wife’, ‘Stone’, and ‘Nah Go A Funeral’, the latter marking a reunion with Gibbs. He continued sporadically to release material throughout the late 70s and early 80s, and in 1996/7 a retrospective compilation of his Freedom Sounds work appeared through the archive label established by members of Simply Red. Prince Alla continues to record and release music. |
