Cradle Robber Riddim – Jammys Records

CRADLE ROBBER RIDDIM produced by JAMMYS RECORDS 1990

Cradle Robber Overview

The Cradle Robber Riddim from 1990 stands out for its deep one drop base, a style that echoes the classic reggae sound of earlier decades. This strong, steady rhythm gives the riddim a warm and powerful mood, making it perfect for sound systems and dancehalls. The one drop base is the heartbeat of roots reggae, and in this project, it keeps the old-school spirit alive. Several well-known artists brought their own flavor to the Cradle Robber Riddim. Frankie Paul, famous for his hit “Sara,” shines here with “Idle Jubee.” Gregory Peck, who made waves with “Poco Man Jam,” delivers “Do As Dem Like.” Pinchers, known for the popular track “Agony,” adds his voice to “Brotherly Love.” Singing Melody, who later enjoyed success with “Want You Back,” sings “Back To Life.” Little Harry’s “Praise The Lord” adds energy to the mix. Each artist’s performance fits the vintage-inspired beats, and the catchy hooks keep listeners coming back. The dub engineer’s touch brings out the richness of the music, making every track sound fresh and lively. JAMMYS RECORDS produced this riddim, continuing a long tradition of shaping reggae and dancehall music. Founded by King Jammy, the label is known for hits like Wayne Smith’s “Under Mi Sleng Teng,” which changed the sound of reggae in the 1980s. JAMMYS RECORDS helped many artists reach new heights and is respected worldwide. With its strong one drop base and talented artists, Cradle Robber Riddim is a true piece of reggae history from 1990.
