Village Jam Overview
When the Village Jam Riddim dropped in 2016, reggae fans were quick to embrace its deep roots sound. Many listeners praised the riddim’s classic feel, saying it brought back the spirit of roots reggae to a new generation. The project became a favorite among festival crowds and reggae selectors, who enjoyed its steady groove and positive energy. Several respected artists helped make the riddim memorable. Ginjah’s “Tonight” stood out with his smooth vocals and heartfelt delivery. Ginjah is well known in reggae circles, especially for his song “Never Lost My Way,” which has become a modern roots anthem. Tony Anthony added his voice with “This Is A Warning,” bringing the same emotional edge that earned him a JUNO Award nomination for Best Reggae Recording in 2011. Biggaton’s track, “Bawl Fi Life,” added another layer of conscious lyrics and powerful presence. Eljai Royal contributed “General,” while Jericho’s “Jah Never Fail Me” brought uplifting messages to the mix. Each artist delivered their own style, but together, they created a unified roots sound that listeners appreciated. The riddim was arranged by REGGAE NATION, who also produced and released it under their own label. REGGAE NATION is known for supporting authentic reggae projects and has worked with artists across the Caribbean and diaspora. Their commitment to roots reggae helped the Village Jam Riddim become a standout release. Years later, many roots fans still talk about this 2016 riddim as a highlight for reggae music, remembering its strong lineup and classic sound.
