911 RIDDIM produced by XTERMINATOR 2000
911 Overview
In 2000, the reggae label XTERMINATOR brought a fresh sound to the scene with their rocksteady-inspired flow. Known for launching the careers of many reggae stars, XTERMINATOR was founded by producer Philip "Fatis" Burrell. The label became famous in the 1990s and early 2000s for its focus on conscious lyrics and roots reggae rhythms. The 911 Riddim brought together some of reggae’s best voices. Ina Kamoze, famous for his global hit “Here Comes the Hotstepper,” added his track “One A Dem.” This song stands out for its direct lyrics and relaxed delivery. Cocoa Tea, another veteran known for “Rikers Island” and his long career, contributed “Feel The Power.” His smooth voice and uplifting message fit the riddim perfectly. Beres Hammond, who received a Grammy nomination for his album “One Love, One Life,” delivered “Mary Mary.” Hammond’s soulful approach gave the riddim a touch of romance and wisdom. Sizzla, a key figure in modern roots reggae, performed “Taking Over.” Sizzla is known for his powerful voice and for releasing over 50 albums in his career. Morgan Heritage & L.M.S joined forces on “We Will Make It.” Morgan Heritage, often called the “Royal Family of Reggae,” have won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album. The music arranger behind the riddim shaped the rocksteady groove, giving each song a strong foundation. The 911 Riddim remains a cultural highlight of 2000, remembered for its conscious message and timeless sound.
