ANSWER RIDDIM produced by MAFIA AND FLUXY 1993
Answer Overview
The roots riddim released in 1993 stands out for its relaxed beat and positive energy. This style was common in early 1990s reggae, when many producers looked for a balance between danceable rhythms and conscious lyrics. Compared to other roots anthologies from that era, this riddim brings a lighter, more joyful sound. Other compilations from 1993 often focused on heavier social themes or deeper basslines, but this one feels more uplifting and easy to vibe with. Dirtsman appears on the riddim with the song Gun Legalise. Dirtsman was known for his unique voice and his hit song Hot This Year, which became popular in the early 1990s. His track on this riddim continues his tradition of catchy hooks and thoughtful lyrics. Mad Lion also features, performing the song Glock. Mad Lion made a name for himself by blending reggae with hip hop, and his single Take It Easy won the 1994 Source Award for Reggae Artist of the Year. His style adds an energetic layer to the riddim. The producer, MAFIA AND FLUXY, are respected for their work in the UK reggae scene. They started as a backing band in the 1980s and have produced for many top artists. The roots selector’s role is important, choosing tracks that keep the party moving and the conscious vibes strong. This anthology captures the spirit of 1993 reggae perfectly.
