MESSENGER RIDDIM produced by XTERMINATOR CREW 1996
Messenger Overview
The Messenger Riddim from 1996 brought together some strong names in dancehall. Kulcha Knox is here with his song “Me Nah To Raw.” Kulcha Knox is known for his conscious lyrics and has worked with many respected producers over the years. Sizzla also steps up with “Me Nuh Fear.” By 1996, Sizzla was already making waves in reggae and dancehall. His album “Black Woman & Child” would soon help him become one of the most recognized voices in the genre. Xterminator Crew is behind the production, and their “Messenger Version” rounds out the release. Xterminator Crew was led by the late Philip “Fatis” Burrell, a producer famous for working with artists like Luciano and Beres Hammond. The label, Xterminator, played a big role in shaping the roots revival sound of the 1990s. Their productions often brought a spiritual and conscious edge to dancehall. This selector’s choice captures the bold spirit of 1996. Each artist brings their own energy, and the riddim’s layers keep the vibe moving. The songs stand strong in any dancehall, and the Xterminator Crew’s touch is clear in every track. Messenger Riddim is a classic example of how dancehall sounded in that era—full of power, message, and rhythm.
