JAH ARMY RIDDIM produced by UNIVERSAL RECORDS 2011
Jah Army Overview
In the early 2010s, reggae music was still deeply connected to its roots in rocksteady. The rocksteady flow gave reggae its smooth, soulful rhythms and strong basslines. In 2011, these sounds were alive in Jamaica’s dancehalls and sound system parties. The Jah Army Riddim was one of the collections that brought this classic vibe to a new generation. Sound system producers played a big role in shaping reggae music. They selected songs, mixed tracks, and set the mood for each party. UNIVERSAL RECORDS, a major label with a long history in global music, helped bring the Jah Army Riddim to a wider audience. The label is known for working with many reggae and pop artists, and its releases often reach international listeners through big streaming platforms. The Jah Army Riddim album featured a mix of reggae and dancehall artists. Chris Ellis & Gappy Ranks performed "Knockin' At My Door," blending Ellis’s soulful voice with Gappy Ranks’ modern style. Dead Prez, known for their strong lyrics in hip hop, brought their message to reggae with "Dead Mans Shoes." Jah Cure, famous for his hit "Longing For," sang "Look Both Ways," adding his smooth vocals to the mix. Pressure’s "It Haffi Go Suh" and Spragga Benz’s "La La Lah" gave the riddim more energy. Songs like "Jah Army" by Stephen Marley and Damian Marley, and "Take A Wif" by Ward 21, also made the collection popular in 2011’s sound system playlists.
