Soul Rebel Overview
In 2009, reggae music saw a return to the one drop rhythm, a classic beat that shaped many reggae hits from the past. This sound was brought back to life in the Soul Rebel Riddim collection, which became popular in sound systems that year. The project was produced by Greensleeves Records, a label famous for its deep roots in reggae and dancehall. Greensleeves started in the UK in the 1970s and has released music from big names like Yellowman and Barrington Levy. Their releases are known for keeping the true reggae sound alive. Several well-known artists joined the Soul Rebel Riddim. Gappy Ranks performed “Heaven In Your Eyes.” Gappy Ranks is a British-Jamaican artist who is known for his hit “Stinkin Rich” and has worked with artists like Delly Ranx. Mikey Spice brought his strong vocals to “Roller Coaster.” He is famous for his cover of “Practice What You Preach,” which reached reggae charts in the 1990s. Nerious Joseph And Gappy Ranks teamed up for “Soul Rebel.” Nerious Joseph is a respected UK reggae singer with a long career. Sweetie Irie added his style with “Rebel With A Cause.” Sweetie Irie is known for his work in both reggae and UK garage, and his collaboration with Gorillaz on “Clint Eastwood.” Together, these artists and Greensleeves Records helped make the Soul Rebel Riddim a favorite in 2009’s reggae scene.
