Afterthe saxophonist Dean Fraser introduced Sizzla to Fatis in the mid-90s, the collaborative relationship between the artist and producer immediately bore fruit. Tracks like True God, Judgement Morning, and Blaspheme established Sizzla as part of the rising tide of Rastafari artists emerging from Jamaica, many of whom Fatis had also worked with and mentored.

By that point, Fatis had been producing Reggae and Dancehall music for over a decade. He had founded a few labels before helming Xterminator, a vehicle with which he sought to overhaul the sounds and the message in Jamaican music. In keeping with this mission, he worked closely with figures like Luciano, Capleton, Buju Banton, Garnett Silk, and others.


In recent years several artist from Jamaica including Shenseea have been bashed for stepping out of the genre and making music on pop beats. In an interview with WMV she responded to those claims by saying others are tapping into reggae-dancehall culture, therefore she is tapping into other genres too. Moves like those Sizzla regard as well-rounded.
