SYSTEMS RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2010
Systems Overview
When Systems Riddim arrived in 2008, reggae fans quickly embraced the album collection. The riddim’s heavy percussion and classic sound brought listeners together, making it a favorite among roots reggae supporters. Each track stood out, but the unity across the album made it special. Carl Meeks opened the set with “Dreaming,” showing why he is remembered for hits like “Weh Dem Fah.” Fya George’s “Jah First” added a spiritual touch, while Gyptian, known for his international hit “Hold You,” gave a heartfelt performance on “Lonely.” Itemologi contributed “System Victim,” bringing a conscious message, and Jah Niceness delivered smooth vocals on “Anything.” Other highlights included Mikey Pelpa’s “System Life,” Mirror’s “By Your Side,” Ras Charmer’s “Knowledge,” Trilla U’s “Never Give Up,” and Truthful’s “Inflation.” Each artist brought their own style, but all stayed true to the roots sound. The music was arranged by skilled hands, keeping the riddim’s vibe consistent. The project was produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS, a team known for working with different vocalists and shaping many reggae releases over the years. Their commitment to authentic reggae and vocal harmony has earned them respect in the industry. This dub cut from 2008 kept reggae’s roots alive, reminding fans why the genre’s foundation is so important. The album remains a strong example of modern roots reggae.
