GO GETTA RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2012
Go Getta Overview
The Go Getta Riddim dub release in 2012 brought together a strong lineup of reggae talent. The tracklist features Natty King with “No Need No Friend,” Everton Chambers on “Mont Zion Glory,” Luciano’s “Back To Our Roots,” Courtney Melody’s “Pressuring The Poor,” T Ras with “Go Getta,” Proverbs on “Work Hard,” and Robert Ffrench’s “Same Old Story.” Each song rides the same rootsy instrumental, but every artist adds their own style and message. Natty King, known for his hit “No Guns To Town,” brings his conscious lyrics to “No Need No Friend,” keeping his reputation for roots reggae alive. Everton Chambers, who has worked with many Jamaican producers, delivers “Mont Zion Glory,” a song that keeps the spiritual vibe of roots reggae. Luciano, often called “The Messenjah,” is famous for albums like “Where There Is Life.” On “Back To Our Roots,” he continues his tradition of uplifting music and deep messages. Courtney Melody, who made waves in the 1980s with “Bad Boy,” returns here with “Pressuring The Poor,” showing his voice is still strong. T Ras appears with “Go Getta,” adding his energy to the project. Proverbs and Robert Ffrench, a singer with a long career since the 1980s, round out the riddim with “Work Hard” and “Same Old Story.” The producer, VARIOUS ARTISTS, is known for bringing together different singers on a single riddim, a classic method in reggae. This approach lets each artist shine while the roots instrumental ties everything together.
