AFRICA FIRST RIDDIM produced by MEGGA FORCE MUSIC
Africa First Overview
In 2013, the Africa First Riddim became a strong part of reggae sound system culture. Sound systems, which are big speaker setups for playing music at street dances and parties, are a key part of reggae’s history. DJs often choose riddims like Africa First because of their heavy, roots-driven instrumentals and warm sound. These qualities make the riddim perfect for outdoor events and cultural sets, where the bass and melody can be felt by everyone in the crowd. The foundation of Africa First Riddim comes from MEGGA FORCE MUSIC, a producer and label known for their work in modern reggae. MEGGA FORCE MUSIC has built a reputation for quality productions and has worked with several well-known reggae artists. Their focus on warm tones and rich arrangements helped make this riddim stand out in 2013. Several artists brought their own style to the project. Arofat’s “Burn Dem” delivers a strong message with energetic vocals. Fitta Warrior’s “Look Who’s Judging Me” adds a thoughtful touch. Ginjah, known for his hit “Never Lost My Way,” sings “My Gambian Angels” on this riddim. Naptali, with “Praise He Jah,” and Megga Force, with the title track “Africa First Riddim,” round out the lineup. Each song fits perfectly into the sound system tradition, making the riddim a favorite in 2013 reggae playlists.
