Peppagrain Overview

Back in 2008, a new wave of artists started making their mark with the Peppagrain Riddim. This riddim came from OPEN EAR MUSIC, a producer known for building strong dancehall tracks. OPEN EAR MUSIC had already worked on several big projects and was respected for bringing out fresh sounds that selectors liked to play loud on their sound systems. Selectors in sound system culture are like gatekeepers. They choose which tunes get played at parties and street dances. When the Peppagrain Riddim dropped, selectors quickly picked it up for their “selector’s mix.” The riddim’s energy fit perfectly into sets and gave artists a real chance to reach more listeners. Several big names jumped on this riddim. Vybz Kartel brought “Fatta Than A Pound,” showing why he’s one of dancehall’s most talked-about talents—he would later win multiple chart spots and awards with other songs. Sizzla added “Nah Beg,” known for his fast, fiery delivery; Sizzla has released over 50 albums and was Grammy-nominated for “The Messiah” in 2014. Other artists got attention too.
