HOTTER FIRE RIDDIM produced by YUNG BLOOD 2013
Hotter Fire Overview
In 2013, the Hotter Fire Riddim project brought a fresh energy to roots reggae. The rhythm itself is warm and steady, carrying the classic reggae sound but with a modern touch. The bassline is deep and comforting, while the drums keep a relaxed but confident pace. This gives every song a strong foundation, making it easy for each artist to bring their own style. Several talented artists joined this roots anthology. Ritical stands out with “Crab Inna Bucket,” delivering powerful lyrics over the riddim’s steady groove. Shine’s track “I - Phoenix” brings a soulful vibe, showing his unique voice and smooth delivery. Heritage adds “Unity Ah Strength,” a song that celebrates togetherness and positive messages. Maccabee Royalson’s “Call on Jah” is another highlight, reflecting his deep roots in conscious reggae. Mada Nile, who is known for her work in the Caribbean reggae scene, shines on “Look How Good,” adding her signature uplifting spirit. Behind the scenes, the producer YUNG BLOOD played a key role in shaping the project. Known for his work with the Yung Blood Production label, he has produced several popular reggae and dancehall releases, helping to bring new voices and fresh sounds to the genre. His careful arrangement and attention to detail gave the Hotter Fire Riddim its distinct feel, balancing tradition with innovation. Even years later, this roots anthology is a reminder of reggae’s strength in 2013. It captures a moment when artists and producers came together to honor the past while moving the music forward.
