They Gonna Talk Overview

In 1998, reggae was moving in many directions, but roots riddims still held a special place in the scene. The “They Gonna Talk Riddim” brought a classic roots feel to that year, giving listeners a sound that was both familiar and fresh. Its deep bass and steady drums matched the spirit of the late 1990s, when reggae artists were reaching new audiences worldwide. The foundation of this riddim is strong, thanks to producer CHARM. Known for bringing together top vocalists and creating tracks popular on sound systems, CHARM’s work stands out in reggae production. The label behind CHARM has released several influential projects, and this riddim is one of their most recognized works from the late '90s. Each artist on the riddim brings their own style. Ambelique’s “New Sheriff” shows his smooth voice and steady delivery. Anthony B, with “Good Life,” adds his roots energy. Anthony B is well-known for songs like “Fire Pon Rome,” which made him a leading voice in conscious reggae. Beres Hammond’s “They Gonna Talk” is a highlight. Beres Hammond is famous for his soulful voice and hits like “Rockaway,” and he has been nominated for a Grammy Award. Half Pint’s “Just Be Good” brings another layer to the riddim. Half Pint is known for the classic “Greetings,” a song loved by reggae fans around the world. Saba’s “More Love” and Tony Curtis’s “Jah I Thank You” round out the collection, each adding their own message and melody.
