Militant Overview

The Militant Riddim recording from 2001 brought together a strong lineup of reggae voices. The tracklist features Bushman — Run Away, Capleton — Yadalong, Chrisinti — Ultimate, Cobra — Just Di Flex, Luciano — Fulfillment, Nitty Kutchie — Ups Nad Downs, Pinchers — Mr Right, and Pressure — Know Thy Self. Each song rides the same rich instrumental, but the artists add their own style and message. Bushman, on Run Away, is known for his deep roots sound. Earlier in his career, Bushman made a mark with the song "Fire Bun a Weak Heart." Capleton, who delivers Yadalong, has been a major voice in reggae and dancehall since the 1990s. His song "Jah Jah City" was a big hit and helped cement his place in reggae history. Chrisinti’s Ultimate adds a soulful touch, while Cobra’s Just Di Flex brings dancehall energy. Luciano, on Fulfillment, is respected for his conscious lyrics and was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2016 for his album "Zion Awake." The riddim was arranged and produced by MILITANT MUSIC, a label active in the early 2000s that worked with several roots and dancehall artists. Their productions are known for keeping a classic island sound. Fans still mention the Militant Riddim for its steady rocksteady flow and the way it captured reggae’s spirit in 2001.
