We Pay Tribute To Jimmy Cliff With New “Sampling” Playlist

On November 24 2025, the world mourned the loss of one of Reggae’s most legendary Ambassadors, Jimmy Cliff. One of the pioneering Artists of the genre, he took Reggae to places that have never heard of it, and solidified himself as one of Jamaica’s true Rockstars. He scored big in music, and in Film, and has influenced generations. Despite him not being here physically, his musical legacy, name, and family live on. We send our condolences to his family at this time. We pay tribute to the Icon with our latest Playlist, “Sampling Jimmy Cliff“.

While Jimmy Cliff’s catalogue has been off limits in the case of sampling, there were a few Artists who were allowed a chance to, who then managed to treat the music with respect, and paid tribute through their own creations. Featuring the likes of Rebel MC, Cutty Ranks, FatBoy Slim, Afroman, and Kris Kross Amsterdam, you can tune in to some of the sampled works, and the original hits from Dr. Cliff himself. If you aren’t familiar with our Playlist selections, check them out here. Thank you Jimmy Cliff for your work and life, and may you continue inspiring many for years to come. Sleep well, legend.
