Ghetto Overview

The roots instrumental from the 2009 Ghetto Riddim release is remembered for its conscious sound and strong Jamaican vibe. The tracks on this roots drop all ride over a rich, harmony-driven riddim that takes listeners straight to the heart of reggae culture. One of the standout songs is Albarosie Feat The Tamlins — Garrison. This track brings together Albarosie, known for his roots reggae style, and The Tamlins, a legendary vocal group. The Tamlins - Garrison — Garrison also appears, letting the group shine on their own. The Tamlins have a long history in reggae, and are known for their harmonies and collaborations, including work with Peter Tosh. Anthony B — Cold Blooded Murderer is another highlight. Anthony B is respected for his conscious lyrics and energetic delivery. He is known for songs like "Fire Pon Rome" and is a major figure in modern roots reggae. Christopher Martin — Country Boy brings a smooth, melodic touch to the riddim. Christopher Martin rose to fame after winning Digicel Rising Stars in 2005 and has since become a well-known singer in Jamaica and beyond. Chuck Fendah — I Am For The Poor adds a message of struggle and hope, fitting the roots theme perfectly. The culture arranger behind the riddim made sure each artist’s voice blends with the harmonies. The producer, VP Records, is one of reggae’s biggest labels. Founded in Jamaica in 1979, VP Records has released music from many top reggae and dancehall artists and helped bring Caribbean music to the world.
