123 RIDDIM produced by STINGRAY RECORDS 2017
123 Overview
If you love reggae roots music, the 123 Riddim from 2017 is a project you should remember. This release gave young singers a real chance to show their talent and message. The riddim itself is a smooth mix of classic reggae and touches of other genres. You can hear hints of soul and R&B in the way the instruments and rhythms blend together, but the roots reggae feeling stays strong. Queen Ifrica stands out with her song "Crusin Together." She is well known for her powerful voice and songs like "Lioness on the Rise," which reached the top of reggae charts. On 123 Riddim, her voice brings a calm but confident energy. Tasonia’s "Real Love" is another highlight. Her soulful style fits the riddim perfectly, showing how reggae can mix with other musical flavors. Tenna Star’s "When We Were Young" brings a nostalgic touch. Abelwell Foundation’s "Come Over" and Askala Selassie’s "One Love" both add fresh energy and cultural pride to the mix. Each artist brings their own style, but all blend well with the riddim’s organic sound. The producer, STINGRAY RECORDS, is known for working with top reggae artists in the UK and Jamaica since the 1990s. Their experience keeps the music true to its roots while sounding modern. The culture arranger played a big part in keeping the island feel strong, making sure every song fits together. Even today, fans still play the 123 Riddim as a memory of 2017’s roots revival.
