CULTURE RIDDEM – HONEST MUSIC 2022
Culture Riddem – Honest Music Overview
The Culture Riddem, released by Honest Music in 2022, stands out as a strong example of modern roots reggae. This instrumental track, known as a riddim in reggae, brought together respected artists from the genre to voice their own songs over its steady, rootsy groove. The riddim’s classic feel and clean production made it a favorite among reggae fans that year. Anthony B, a well-known Jamaican singer with hits like “Raid The Barn,” delivered “Look How Long” on this riddim. Luciano, another leading figure in roots reggae, contributed “Cool It Off.” Luciano is famous for his uplifting songs and albums such as “Where There Is Life,” which helped define conscious reggae in the 1990s. Perfect Giddimani, who reached the top of the Billboard Reggae Albums chart in 2017 with “Live My Life Again,” added his track “Back To My Roots.” Other artists on the set included Kenyatta Hill with “More Vacancy” and Christos DC with “Opinion.” Kenyatta Hill is known for carrying on the legacy of his father, Joseph Hill of Culture. Christos DC, a producer and singer, has worked with many reggae greats over the years. The Culture Riddem also featured tracks from Nestor (Nonpalidece) with “Thanks For Life,” Tomawok with “Inna Dance,” Dada Yute with “Good And Great,” Nick Sefakis with “Protect And Defend,” and General Zooz with “Om Shanty Om.” Together, these songs showed reggae’s global reach and the continuing power of roots music.
