SUDDEN ATTACK RIDDIM produced by REGGAE VIBES 2000
Sudden Attack Overview
In the year 2000, reggae experienced a strong roots revival. The Sudden Attack riddim was one of the foundation rhythms that year, bringing together top artists for a classic reggae sound. The riddim was produced by REGGAE VIBES, a label known for supporting roots reggae and helping keep traditional sounds alive in modern times. Johnny Osbourne, a respected voice from the 1980s dancehall and reggae scene, recorded “Peace & Love” on this riddim. Osbourne is well known for his hit song “Buddy Bye.” Luciano, another key figure in roots reggae, added the title track “Sudden Attack.” Luciano is famous for his uplifting lyrics and albums like “Where There Is Life.” Mikey General, who often works with Luciano, voiced “What Are You Fighting For.” He is known for his conscious lyrics and positive messages. Spragga Benz, a dancehall artist with crossover hits like “She Nuh Ready Yet,” brought his style to “Work Wid It.” Wayne Wonder, who later found international success with “No Letting Go,” performed “Tragedy.” Each artist used the Sudden Attack riddim to deliver their own message. The project captured the roots energy of 2000, showing the power of collaboration and the ongoing influence of reggae’s foundation rhythms.
