Collie Buddz employs a style that is strongly rooted in 1990's era conscious and dancehall style reggae, using beats and vocal techniques reminiscent of the iconic stars of that day - including Sizzla, Buju Banton, Bounty Killer and Beenie Man. The singer has attributed the defining influences on his music to lyrical clashes (such as those between Beenie Man and Bounty Killer) and dubplates, particularly those of Kilimanjaro, that were core to the sound clash culture of the 90's.
Buddz is an avid fan of Buju Banton and cites that artist's "Mr. Mention" has one of his favorite albums.

Yuh know
Yeh I, yeh I
Nah, nah, nah, nah, now (so wha?)
Finally the herbs come around
The high grade weh mi ah look for
Mi get it by the pound, yeah
Mi ah take a likkle draw and pass it around, so
Finally the herbs come around
The high grade weh man ah look for
Mi stock it by the pound, yeah
When babylon a come around
Ask them, "Weh dem a go search for?"
Ever since the herbs slow down
Police and rude boy dem inna showdown
Them a search 'round the compound
Yuh kno, man a no weed clown
Find a likkle piece of land and a plant mi home grown, so
Tell the youth them nah fi take pill
Too much crack and cocaine a make the world a feel ill, yuh kno
Nuff ganja, nuff spliff a build
