Fresh Air Overview
The Fresh Air Riddim album collection arrived in Jamaica in 2001 and soon became a roots reggae favorite among fans. The project brought together a set of artists who each added their own touch to the classic reggae sound of the early 2000s. Diana stands out on this release with the song "Down Here." Her voice has always been recognized for its soulful delivery, and on this track, she brings emotion and clarity to the riddim. Ingel Chanter’s "Di Youths Dew Want" is another highlight, delivering a message that connects with reggae’s tradition of social commentary. Lion Heart adds "It's You," bringing heartfelt lyrics and a steady flow that fits well with the roots style. Natural Blacks is another artist featured on this collection, performing "Free Again." He is well-known in the reggae scene, especially for his hit single "Far From Reality," which made a strong impact on reggae charts and playlists in the early 2000s. "Free Again" continues his reputation for thoughtful lyrics and a strong roots presence. The album also includes "Fresh Air" by Version, rounding out the collection with an instrumental that lets the riddim shine on its own. The music was arranged and produced by YOUNG BLOOD, a label known for working with a range of reggae and dancehall artists throughout the 2000s.
