SENIOR RIDDIM produced by AL.TA.FA.AN RECORDS 2007
Senior Overview
In 2007, AL.TA.FA.AN RECORDS put out the Senior Riddim, which became a favorite in reggae music. This riddim is special because it mixes the deep roots sound of classic reggae with touches from other styles, like dancehall and even a bit of R&B. That mix makes it feel both old and new at the same time. The producer, AL.TA.FA.AN RECORDS, is known for working with both big names and rising artists, and for keeping the roots reggae sound alive in the 2000s. They have a history of releasing solid riddims that DJs and selectors love to play. On Senior Riddim, Andy Vernon’s “Step Right” and Blessed’s “Dem Cyaan Save The World” bring powerful messages and strong vocals. Bob Andy, a legend in reggae with hits like “Young Gifted and Black,” brings his classic style to “Almighty Dollar.” Chezidek is known for his conscious lyrics, and he keeps that up with “Leggo Dutty Babylon.” Gentleman, a German reggae artist who has topped charts in Europe, adds his own flavor with “Different Places.” The roots selector plays a big part too, choosing the right moments to drop each song and keep the crowd moving. Senior Riddim is a true link between reggae’s past and present, showing how the genre can grow while staying true to its roots.
