WORLD CITIZEN RIDDIM produced by ROOTS SURVIVAL PRODUCTION 2011
World Citizen Overview
When the World Citizen Riddim compilation came out in 2011, reggae fans quickly took notice. Many praised its classic roots sound, which matched the energy and style of that year’s reggae scene. Listeners enjoyed hearing new voices and established artists working together on one project. Bongo Chilli made a strong impression with “Same Friend,” bringing his unique vocal style to the riddim. Deadly Hunta, known for his UK reggae roots, delivered “It'S My Prerogative,” adding a gritty, personal touch. I Octane, who had already gained attention with hits like “Lose A Friend,” gave fans “A Nuh Me,” showing his lyrical skill and heartfelt delivery. Konshens, a rising star at the time, contributed “World Citizen.” Just a year later, Konshens would release his hit album “Mental Maintenance,” which helped him reach international audiences. Diamond & Tidal’s “Jah Help Me” added a spiritual layer to the compilation, rounding out the project with their harmonies. Behind the scenes, ROOTS SURVIVAL PRODUCTION shaped the sound. This label, based in France, is respected for its focus on roots reggae and has worked with both Jamaican and European artists. Their careful production made sure each track had a strong melodic flow. World Citizen Riddim stands as a true example of 2011 roots reggae, bringing together voices and rhythms that fans still appreciate today.
