RALLY ROUND RIDDIM produced by HMG RECORDS 2001
Rally Round Overview
In 2001, reggae music was exploring new directions, but the rocksteady flow remained important. This sound brought a smooth, steady rhythm that fit well with the energy of the time. Many artists used rocksteady influences to create songs that felt both modern and rooted in tradition. HMG RECORDS played a big part in shaping this style. The label is known for producing reggae and dancehall projects in the early 2000s. HMG RECORDS helped bring together artists and sounds that kept reggae fresh while respecting its roots. Their work reached listeners in Jamaica and beyond, adding to the global reggae movement. On this riddim, Christini brings a spiritual message with "New Jerusalem." This track stands out for its uplifting lyrics and strong delivery. Jah Mason adds depth with "Care And Share," showing why he is respected in the roots reggae scene. Jah Mason is also known for his popular song "My Princess Gone," which reached international audiences. Lms delivers "Five Hundred Family," building on their reputation for thoughtful lyrics and harmonies. Lms is recognized for their album "Zion Gates," released in 2003. Ulitimate's "Haffi Bun Dem" adds energy and urgency, rounding out the collection. Together, these artists and HMG RECORDS captured the spirit of 2001 reggae, using the rocksteady flow to connect old and new sounds. Their music continues to inspire fans today.
