CREATED BY THE FATHER RIDDIM aka BABATUNDE – SAFIRE MUSIC 2001

Created By The Father Overview

In 2001, reggae music was still shaped by its classic rhythms. The one drop base, known for its strong drumbeat on the third beat of each bar, was a key part of this sound. On the “Created By The Father” riddim, the one drop base held everything together. It gave the tracks a steady, familiar groove that fit perfectly with the year’s roots revival. Behind the scenes, the arranger played a big role in shaping the riddim’s feel. By sticking close to traditional reggae structure, the arranger helped the project capture the spirit of early 2000s reggae. The percussion and bass worked together to make every track sound authentic and powerful. Bushman’s “One Way” is a standout on the riddim. Bushman, known for his hit “Fire Bun a Weak Heart,” brings a conscious message and strong delivery. Beres Hammond, with his song “La La La,” adds his smooth, soulful voice. Hammond is famous for songs like “Rockaway” and has been nominated for Grammy Awards, showing his influence in reggae. Tony Curtis delivers “Only Jah,” using his signature vocal style. Curtis is well known for his work with the group LUST and for songs like “Faith.” George Nooks, on “Just Say No,” brings his uplifting style. Nooks found success with his cover of “God Is Standing By,” which reached the UK reggae charts. The riddim also features “Created By The Father” (Version), letting the instrumental shine.
