18 AND OVA RIDDIM produced by FIRST NAME MUSIC 2009
18 And Ova Overview
The 18 And Ova Riddim, released in 2009, brought together modern reggae voices with a classic reggae sound. The musical backdrop used traditional reggae rhythms, but with a fresh twist that connected new artists to the roots of the genre. This helped the riddim stand out during a time when dancehall and reggae were mixing in new ways. FIRST NAME MUSIC produced the 18 And Ova Riddim. The label is known for working with both established and rising reggae stars. FIRST NAME MUSIC has a reputation for keeping reggae’s rebel spirit alive, and their projects often feature a blend of conscious lyrics and strong melodies. On this riddim, Alaine contributed the song "Slipping Away." Alaine is well known for her hit "No Ordinary Love," and she often brings a soulful voice and positive message to her music. Buju Banton, who appears with "Never Love Again," is one of reggae’s most recognized artists. He won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 2011 for "Before the Dawn." Tami Chynn teamed up with Wayne Marshall for "Nothing Else." Wayne Marshall is respected for his collaborations with artists like Sean Paul and Damian Marley. Maix Priest performed "Perfect Love," adding a smooth touch to the collection. Other artists on the riddim include Peetah Morgan with "Hurting," Pressure with "Waiting," Richie Spice with "Find Jah," and Sizzla with "Whisper." Each song gives a different perspective, but all share the reggae message of strength and hope. The 18 And Ova Riddim remains a memorable project from 2009.
