Promised Land Riddim – Living Room

PROMISED LAND RIDDIM produced by LIVING ROOM 1998

Promised Land Overview

In 1998, reggae fans were treated to a roots collection that stood out for its deep, meditative sound. The Promised Land Riddim began as an idea in the studio, where musicians worked closely with producer LIVING ROOM. Known for his careful approach and dedication to conscious reggae, LIVING ROOM had already built a reputation for quality productions. His work under the Living Room label often focused on roots reggae, and he was respected for keeping the message honest and clear. The riddim itself was crafted with care, using live instruments and a steady groove that set the stage for the vocalists. The studio team paid attention to every detail, making sure the backdrop was both soulful and strong. Once the riddim was ready, a select group of artists brought their own stories to the project. Anthony Haughton delivered "Where Did We Do," adding heartfelt vocals to the mix. China’s "Love Jah" gave the collection an uplifting spirit. Dollar Fifty came in with "Rich And Switch," riding the riddim’s pulse. Georges Nooks, already known for hits like "God Is Standing By," contributed "General," showing his smooth delivery. Hosanna rounded out the core lineup with "Glory," adding a spiritual edge. Each artist added their unique touch, but the riddim kept everything connected. From creation to release, the project stayed true to roots reggae’s heart. Even now, this collection remains a part of the reggae story of 1998, remembered for its unity and message.
