PUNANY TRAIN RIDDIM produced by 198X – JUMBO (E.BYFIELD) | SONIC SOUNDS
Punany Train Overview
In 2020, reggae music saw fresh releases that honored its deep roots. The Punany Train Riddim stood out because it used warm, live-sounding instruments and a heavy bassline. This musical backdrop felt different from many digital or dancehall-heavy riddims of the same year. While some releases in 2020 leaned towards electronic beats or pop influences, Punany Train Riddim kept the classic reggae feeling alive. J twins brought emotion to the track "i'll always love you," showing their smooth and heartfelt style. Lady mackerel, known for her bold lyrics and personality, delivered "rough girls" with the same energy that made her famous in the 1990s dancehall scene. Tuffest, with the song "yu safe," added a steady and confident voice to the riddim. Joe mannix’s "cut eye cut eye" and Bert lancaster’s "one plus" also fit perfectly, each artist bringing their own flavor to the project. The riddim was produced by 198X - JUMBO (E. BYFIELD) | SONIC SOUNDS. Sonic Sounds is a respected Jamaican label, known for helping many reggae and dancehall artists get their music to a wider audience. This producer’s touch made sure the sound stayed true to reggae’s roots, mixing old-school vibes with a modern edge. Compared to other 2020 releases, Punany Train Riddim was a reminder of reggae’s foundation. It connected the new generation to the music’s history, letting artists like J twins, Lady mackerel, and Tuffest shine on a truly roots-driven backdrop. This kept reggae’s deep spirit alive in a changing musical world.
