THE MORE SPIRITUAL RIDDIM produced by GREEN LION CREW 2012
The More Spiritual Overview
In 2012, the reggae scene saw the arrival of a strong roots anthology, built on the foundation of The More Spiritual Riddim by Green Lion Crew. This riddim brought classic roots reggae sounds into the modern era, standing out with its deep bass and timeless feel. Green Lion Crew, known for their work with international reggae artists and their releases on the Green Lion label, crafted a riddim that connected old-school vibes with new voices. Compared to other roots anthologies of its time, The More Spiritual Riddim kept true to the traditional reggae sound, while some other collections were mixing in more digital or dancehall elements. The riddim’s steady, warm flow made it a favorite for selectors and listeners who wanted that original roots feel. The anthology features a strong lineup. Perfect delivers “Dont Be Afraid,” showing his powerful voice and conscious lyrics. Williamz appears twice, first with “Herbzman,” a song that matches his reputation as a leading UK reggae artist, and again with “We Run England.” Million Stylez brings “More Spiritual,” adding his unique Swedish-Jamaican flavor. He is well known for his international hit “Miss Fatty.” Yt’s “Save Di Children” keeps the message positive and uplifting, while Kabaka Pyramid’s “New Year” stands out—Kabaka later won a Grammy for his album “The Kalling.” Green Lion Crew’s careful production keeps all the tracks linked, giving the anthology a smooth, consistent energy.
