JAH JAH CITY RIDDIM produced by H.M.G RECORDS 1999
Jah Jah City Overview
The Jah Jah City Riddim from 1999 is a strong example of reggae’s classic sound mixing with new ideas. The riddim uses a rocksteady flow, which means the beat is steady and smooth, like the reggae music of the late 1960s. In 1999, this style blended well with other genres, such as roots reggae and dancehall. The result is music that feels both old and new. Artists like Bush Man, Capleton, and Jah Cure each bring their own style to the riddim. Bush Man’s "Truely Great" stands out with powerful vocals and a message of hope. Capleton, known for his energetic performances and the hit album "More Fire" (2000), delivers "Jah Jah City" with his signature fiery style. Jah Cure’s "Love Is The Solution" adds a smooth, soulful touch. Morgan Heritage & Lms team up for "Never," while Morgan Heritage alone brings "Liberation." Morgan Heritage is well known for winning the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album. Ras Shiloh’s "Onto Zion" is also part of this collection, adding another roots voice. All these songs were made under the guidance of H.M.G RECORDS, a label known for working with many reggae artists and releasing several popular riddims in the late 1990s. The Jah Jah City Riddim was played on sound systems across Jamaica in 1999, showing its strong impact on reggae fans.
