BETTER THINGS RIDDIM produced by ROOTSIE MUZIC 2006
Better Things Overview
In 2006, a special reggae riddim brought back the deep sounds of roots music but added a fresh touch. This dub release carried the roots vibes straight into the reggae scene, mixing old-school feelings with new ideas. The riddim’s steady bass and classic drum patterns blended with modern production, making it easy for different artists to shine. ROOTSIE MUZIC produced this project. Known for focusing on authentic reggae, ROOTSIE MUZIC has worked with many respected artists and is recognized for keeping roots reggae alive in the 2000s. The producer helped each song flow together while letting each artist bring their own style. Lutan Fyah’s "Strapped For Cash" stands out with conscious lyrics and his strong delivery. Lutan Fyah is well known for his hit song "Stigma" and is respected for his powerful voice in reggae. Luciano brings a spiritual message on "Earth Creator." Luciano is famous for his album "Where There Is Life," which helped him gain worldwide attention in the 1990s. Radikal’s "Gunz" tackles serious topics, showing how the riddim can handle tough subjects. Criss Truthful And Zeebra take the roots message further with "Forword To Roots." Turbulence, who became popular with his song "Notorious," adds energy on "Blood Stain." Other songs, like Prince Theo’s "Better Things" and Jah Mason’s "Clean Heart," keep the positive spirit alive. Each track uses the riddim’s roots base but sometimes mixes in hints of dancehall or modern reggae, showing how flexible the sound can be.
