ADDICTION RIDDIM produced by FLAVA SQUAD ENTERTAINMENT 2009
Addiction Overview
In 2009, the roots riddim stood strong in reggae music. The Addiction Riddim is a good example of how this style blends with other genres. The music has a deep roots reggae base, but it also mixes in dub effects and a modern, energetic drive. This mix makes the songs sound both classic and fresh. The producer, FLAVA SQUAD ENTERTAINMENT, is known for working with many reggae and dancehall artists. They have produced several popular riddims and helped shape the sound of modern reggae. On this release, their careful music arrangement stands out. Each track feels carefully built, with space for the artists to shine and for the message to come through. The artists on this compilation each bring their own style. Anthony B’s “Your A Queen” stands out with his powerful voice and strong lyrics. Anthony B is well known for his hit “Fire Pon Rome” and is respected for his conscious messages. Konshens, with “What A Life,” adds a modern dancehall touch. Konshens later found international success with his song “Bruk Off Yuh Back.” Lady G’s “Slow Motion” brings a veteran’s flow. Lady G is one of Jamaica’s most respected female deejays, famous for her hit “Man a Bad Man.” Gyptian, on “True Confession,” uses his smooth vocals. Gyptian later reached global audiences with “Hold You.” Lutan Fyah’s “Products Of The Future” delivers thoughtful lyrics, as he often does in his roots reggae songs.
