In the year 2000, roots reggae was enjoying a fresh wave of interest, with many selectors and fans revisiting classic sounds in modern sessions. The Harder They Come Riddim fit perfectly into this moment. Its sound brought together the deep, steady bass and drums of old-school reggae with a crisp, updated edge that made it stand out in roots sessions of the early 2000s. The foundation of this riddim was built by a producer who clearly understood both tradition and innovation. The music kept the spirit of 1970s reggae alive, but with a style that felt new for the time. This careful balance helped the riddim find its place among both older fans and younger listeners. On this project, Lady Saw delivered "Taller They Come." Lady Saw is well known as the "Queen of Dancehall," and her 2002 hit "I've Got Your Man" is one of her signature songs.
