I LOVE KING SELASSIE RIDDIM produced by SAFIRE 1998
I Love King Selassie Overview
The 1998 roots project built around the I Love King Selassie Riddim stands out for its deep reggae foundation and strong lineup. The tracks on this riddim include Buju Banton — Love In The City, Jah Cure — This One Is For You, Jah Mason — They Take Love For Granted, Luciano — Ghetto Children, Lutan Fyah — Fling Stone, and Sizzla — Life Is Eternal. Each song uses the same core riddim but brings out a different mood and message. Buju Banton’s Love In The City is a highlight. Buju Banton is known for his powerful voice and for his Grammy-winning album Before the Dawn, which won Best Reggae Album in 2011. Jah Cure’s This One Is For You brings his smooth vocals, a style that later led to international hits like Longing For. Jah Mason’s They Take Love For Granted is another roots tune, showing his signature conscious lyrics. Luciano, with Ghetto Children, adds his respected roots touch. Luciano is known for his classic album Where There Is Life and is often called “The Messenjah” in reggae circles. Lutan Fyah’s Fling Stone brings modern energy, while Sizzla’s Life Is Eternal shows why he is one of reggae’s most prolific artists. The riddim was produced by SAFIRE, a producer known for keeping roots reggae alive. SAFIRE has worked with many Jamaican artists and is respected for his authentic sound. He helped bridge classic reggae with new voices, making this project stand out. Today, fans still talk about the 1998 dub cut.
