Sun Riddim produced by Own Mission Records 2009
Sun Overview
Roots reggae in 2009 saw a strong return to classic sounds, and Sun Riddim was one of the releases leading this movement. The riddim was shaped by skilled roots musicians who honored the tradition of live instruments and soulful rhythms. Their influence can be heard in every layer of the music. Own Mission Records, the label behind this release, is known for supporting roots and culture reggae. The label has worked with both new and established artists, helping to keep the roots reggae spirit alive in the modern era. The project brought together a talented group of artists. Jah Mason delivers the song "Protect," bringing his passionate voice and conscious lyrics. Jah Mason is respected for his energetic performances and has released albums like "Most Royal," which helped build his reputation in reggae. Matthew McAnuff contributes "Di Herbs." He is remembered for his powerful voice and the song "Be Careful," which became a roots anthem after his passing. Pressure sings "Open Your Eyes," showing the strength and emotion that made his hit "Love and Affection" popular worldwide. Prince Alla's "Mr President" adds a veteran’s wisdom. Prince Alla is known for roots classics like "Stone" and his deep, spiritual lyrics. Rod Taylor gives us "Name," continuing his legacy as a roots singer since the 1970s. This recording is closely tied to 2009’s roots scene, bringing together different generations and voices to celebrate reggae’s foundation.
