PERSISTENCE RIDDIM produced by KING OF KINGS 1997
Persistence Overview
In 1997, a roots reggae anthology appeared that brought together culture and soul on the same riddim. This project was shaped in Jamaica, using a classic reggae framework that still feels fresh today. Three standout artists featured on this anthology: Norris Man, Richie Spice, and Sizzla. Norris Man’s track, "Persistence," is a strong example of his uplifting style. Norris Man is known for his positive messages and conscious lyrics, and "Persistence" fits right into his catalogue. Richie Spice delivers "Loner," a song that showcases his deep, soulful voice. Richie Spice later became famous for his hit "Earth a Run Red," which helped him reach audiences worldwide. Sizzla’s contribution, "Show Us The Way," brings his signature energy and spiritual focus. Sizzla is one of reggae’s most prolific artists, with albums like "Da Real Thing" earning international acclaim. The sound behind these songs was crafted by producer KING OF KINGS. This name is well known in reggae circles for shaping the sound of late 1990s roots music. KING OF KINGS is also the label behind several important reggae releases, helping to launch and support many artists’ careers during this period. This roots anthology is a true piece of 1997 reggae history, with a rocksteady flow that still connects with fans and selectors today.
