KING SELASSIE RIDDIM produced by SAFIRE MUSIC 2000
King Selassie Overview
In 2000, some of reggae’s strongest voices came together on the King Selassie Riddim. Buju Banton, known for his powerful album “Til Shiloh,” brought his energy to “Love In The City.” Jah Cure, famous for his hit “Longing For,” delivered “This One Is For You.” Jah Mason, with his unique style, sang “They Take Love For Granted.” Luciano, often called “The Messenjah” for his uplifting music, gave us “Ghetto Children.” Lutan Fiyah, a respected voice in roots reggae, added “Fling Stone.” Sizzla, another big name in reggae, contributed “Life Is Eternal.” The heart of this project was the rocksteady flow, a sound that connects reggae’s past and present. The riddim’s steady beat and soulful basslines brought out the best in each artist. This style was a key part of roots reggae in 2000, and it kept dancehalls moving across Jamaica and beyond. Behind it all was SAFIRE MUSIC, a label known for producing high-quality reggae riddims. SAFIRE MUSIC has worked with many top Jamaican artists and helped shape the sound of modern roots reggae. If you were at reggae events in 2000, you definitely heard this rocksteady flow. The King Selassie Riddim brought together great artists and a classic sound, making it a favorite for fans and selectors alike.
