Greater Cause Overview

The Greater Cause Riddim stood out in 2024 as a strong example of roots reggae’s timeless appeal. The riddim’s heartbeat is deep and steady, with classic reggae basslines and percussion driving the groove. It balances old-school warmth with a fresh energy, making it feel both familiar and new. The sound is rich and textured, inviting listeners to connect with reggae’s spiritual and social messages. Several artists brought their unique voices to this project. MediSun’s “When You Call” delivers uplifting lyrics with a soulful tone, showing his ability to blend conscious themes with catchy melodies. Jahriffe’s “Champion” is another highlight. Jahriffe is well known for his 2005 album “Check Your Timing,” which helped him earn respect in the roots reggae community. On “Champion,” his powerful vocals and positive message shine through. Chiney Kiki’s “Foreign Land” adds a modern touch while staying true to the roots tradition. Her song blends heartfelt storytelling with a strong rhythmic foundation. Each artist’s contribution sits perfectly on the riddim, giving the project a unified, spiritual vibe. The dub engineer’s role was key, shaping the sound and space of the riddim. Roots Alley Collective not only handled production but also released their own “Greater Cause Dub.” The group is respected for their work in preserving authentic roots reggae and have collaborated with artists across Jamaica and Europe. Their production style is known for its attention to detail and deep, immersive mixes. In 2024, the Greater Cause Riddim was celebrated as reggae at its strongest—deep, conscious, and full of life.
