JAH LIVE ON RIDDIM produced by RUFF CUT 2001
Jah Live On Overview
The Jah Live On Riddim, released in 2001, brought classic roots reggae into the modern era. This riddim was shaped by the skilled production team RUFF CUT. Known for working with top reggae artists, RUFF CUT helped keep the roots sound strong. Their work has appeared on many respected reggae albums, and their productions are known for a warm, authentic feel. The riddim itself blends the deep bass and steady drums of roots reggae with touches from other genres. You can hear hints of dancehall in the rhythm, and even some soulful melodies that link reggae to R&B. This mix gives the riddim a fresh sound, while still honoring the old-school reggae tradition. Several artists brought their own style to this riddim. Junior Kelly, known for his hit song “Love So Nice,” adds his powerful voice to “Jah Live On.” His delivery is smooth, and he brings a message of hope and faith. Bongo Kanni performs “Babylon System Wrong,” giving the track a conscious, rootsy energy. Starky Banton, a well-known UK reggae artist, lights up “Blaze Up The Fire” with his strong vocal presence. Sabre Tooth’s “Deliver Me” adds a thoughtful, spiritual touch to the mix. Each artist helps the riddim cross into new territory. Their different voices and styles show how reggae can blend with other genres, but still keep its roots. With this release, RUFF CUT and the featured artists kept reggae’s foundation alive and strong in 2001.
