Strictly Culture 23 Overview
Strictly Culture 23 Riddim arrived in 2023, bringing together some of reggae’s most respected voices for a powerful compilation. Released under the guidance of Blacker Dread Muzik, the project stands out for its commitment to the traditional reggae sound, while also adding a modern touch. The compilation features Fred Locks with “Nuh Old Nuh Cold.” Fred Locks is known for his classic roots anthem “Black Star Liner,” and his contribution here shows his voice and message remain as strong as ever. Vivian Jones delivers “Higher Heights.” Jones has long been celebrated for his smooth vocals and conscious lyrics, with a career that includes the well-known album “Bank Robbery.” Don Carlos, a founding member of Black Uhuru, brings “Strictley Culture.” Carlos’s influence in reggae is deep, with solo hits and a Grammy win as part of Black Uhuru. Earth Warrior’s “Ghetto Life - No Easy” and Izezzi’s “Nuh Victim, Stand Strong” add fresh energy to the riddim, each bringing their own perspective and lyrical strength. The compilation also includes Bushman’s “Break Dem,” Anthony B’s “Inna De Revolution,” and two dub versions by Bd Players: “Strictley Culture 23 Kette Dubb” and “Strictley 'Dubb' Culture.” The music arrangement stays true to classic reggae structure, with rootsy rhythms and live instrumentation. Blacker Dread Muzik, known for supporting UK reggae and working with artists like Macka B, ensures the riddim is both authentic and relevant.
