ARMAGIDEON RIDDIM produced by M. Johnson for JUNIOR SCORPIO 1993

Armagideon Overview

In 1993, the Armagideon Riddim roots anthology became a real treasure for reggae fans. This project, produced by M. Johnson for JUNIOR SCORPIO, gave a new stage to rising voices in roots reggae. M. Johnson is known for his steady hand in the Jamaican music scene, helping JUNIOR SCORPIO become a respected label for roots and dancehall sounds. The Armagideon Riddim stands out because it mixes deep reggae bass with touches from other genres. You can hear how the rhythm blends roots reggae with hints of dancehall energy. The riddim’s bassline and drum patterns create a strong foundation, while the melodies bring in a fresh, soulful feeling. Anthony B’s track “Oh My Lord” is a highlight. Anthony B later became famous for songs like “Fire Pon Rome” and is known for his powerful voice and messages. On this anthology, his performance is full of emotion and spirit. Gringo’s “Jah Rastafari” adds a spiritual vibe, showing his unique style and love for roots culture. Version’s “Armagideon” brings the pure instrumental, letting the riddim itself shine. The roots selector played a key role, choosing tracks that fit together and keep the roots spirit alive. This anthology did more than just share songs—it captured a moment in reggae history, bringing together artists and sounds in a way that still feels special today.
