BLACK CINDERELLA RIDDIM produced by BLACK SCORPIO 2006
Black Cinderella Overview
In 2006, the Black Cinderella Riddim brought something special to reggae music. It came from the well-known producer BLACK SCORPIO, a name respected in reggae for decades. BLACK SCORPIO, also known as Maurice Johnson, started his label in the late 1970s and has worked with many top reggae artists. His productions are known for strong roots rhythms and real messages. This riddim stands out because it connects classic reggae style with modern voices. The instrumental, or riddim, has that deep roots sound—steady bass, warm keyboards, and a relaxed groove. It feels old-school but fresh at the same time. On this compilation, you can hear Black Lion with “Princess Nuh Gone,” a song full of emotion and respect. Delly Ranx brings his smooth voice on “Born From A Girl.” Delly Ranx is also known for his hit “Pon Di Corner” with Mega Banton, which made waves in the early 2000s. Errol Dunkley Ft. Stretch delivers “Black Cinderella.” Errol Dunkley is a legend in reggae, famous for songs like “OK Fred” that charted in the UK in the 1970s. Stretch - Black Cinderella also gives his version of “Black Cinderella,” showing the riddim’s flexibility. Ginjah sings “My Black Queen,” adding his powerful voice to the mix. Other artists like Jah Mason, Leopard, Luciano, and Lutan Fyah each bring their own message and style to the riddim. Compared to other compilations from that time, like Greensleeves’ riddim albums, Black Cinderella Riddim kept the roots message strong.
