COLLECTION RAGGA – X-RATED RECORDS 2000

Collection Ragga – X-rated Records Overview

The roots riddim from 2000 has a warm, steady groove that fits perfectly in roots sessions. Its rhythm is deep and earthy, with a laidback pace that invites listeners to relax or move to the beat. The sound is classic reggae, but with a fresh energy that made it popular on sound systems at the time. Anthony B brings powerful messages with songs like "Cut Out That" and "Musical Fire." Known for his conscious lyrics, Anthony B is respected for albums such as "Universal Struggle" and has performed on major reggae festivals worldwide. Bounty Killer stands out with his commanding delivery on tracks like "Lodge" and "No No No." He is a dancehall legend, famous for his hit "Living Dangerously" with Barrington Levy and for winning the 2020 Verzuz clash against Beenie Man. Degree adds his unique style to the collection with "She Miss Me Now," giving the riddim a playful twist. Derek Laura’s "Gwaan Chant" keeps the roots spirit alive, while Lady Saw brings her unmistakable voice to "Hardcore Lover" and "Straightwork." Lady Saw is known as the "Queen of Dancehall" and made history as the first female deejay to win a Grammy Award, for her work on No Doubt’s "Underneath It All." The culture arranger shapes the album’s flow, ensuring each track fits the riddim’s vibe. The collection's production was used widely in 2000’s sound systems, helping to keep the roots tradition strong and vibrant.
