MOVING OUT OF BABYLON RIDDIM produced by FFRENCH 1999
Moving Out Of Babylon Overview
In 1999, a new roots reggae project brought fresh energy to the scene. The music was built on the classic "Moving Out Of Babylon" riddim. This instrumental has deep roots in reggae history and is known for its steady, soulful groove. Several respected artists joined the project. Al Campbell, known for his smooth voice, performed "Ease Off." Anthony B, famous for his powerful song "Fire Pon Rome," added his style with "Talk Too Much." Dennis Brown, often called the "Crown Prince of Reggae," delivered "Give I The Love." Brown’s long career included hits like "Money in My Pocket" and a Grammy nomination for his album "Light My Fire." King Kong contributed "Unfortunate Children," while Luciano, who once received a Grammy nomination for "Best Reggae Album" with "A New Day," sang "Moving Out Of Babylon." Other songs on the riddim included "Try Me" by Robert French and "Conquer" by Yami Bolo. Each artist brought their own message and feeling to the project, making the riddim come alive in different ways. The producer, FFRENCH, played a key role. FFRENCH is known for work with the label VP Records, one of reggae’s major labels. His production helped keep the roots sound strong and modern. This 1999 project was a true roots revival, showing the lasting strength of reggae music.
