24 RAGGA RIDDIM VIBRATION – PANTHERPRISE RECORDS 2023

24 Ragga Overview

In 2023, the roots reggae sound found new life with the release of a standout riddim that blended classic reggae with fresh influences from other genres. The riddim’s deep basslines and steady drum patterns gave it a conscious, rootsy feel, but there were also touches of dancehall and even hints of hip hop in the production style. This mix helped the riddim connect with both traditional reggae fans and younger listeners. General Pecos made a strong impact with “Prototype,” bringing his signature vocal style to the track. Known for his work in the reggae scene, General Pecos has earned respect for his energetic performances and lyrical depth. Culture T’s “High Grade” added another layer, with smooth melodies and lyrics that celebrate roots culture. Da Real Storm delivered “Nuh Trust Dem,” a song that warns listeners about false friends—a common theme in reggae, handled here with a modern twist. Junior Garrison’s “Stage Show” stood out for its dynamic delivery and stage presence. Initial T brought a different vibe with “Control,” showing how the riddim could stretch into new territory while keeping its roots foundation. The sound system producer behind this project played a key role, shaping the riddim’s identity by blending live instruments with digital elements. This approach kept the roots vibe strong but allowed for creative cross-genre moments. The riddim’s success in 2023 proved that roots reggae can evolve and stay powerful, thanks to artists and producers who respect tradition while pushing the music forward.
