HIGH RANK RIDDIM produced by REBEL LIBERATION SOUNDS 2013

High Rank Overview

In 2013, the High Rank Riddim stood out as a strong reggae compilation. Produced by REBEL LIBERATION SOUNDS, this project kept the classic reggae sound alive. The rhythms and instruments followed the traditional reggae style, which made it different from many other compilations of its time. In 2013, some reggae productions were moving towards digital beats and pop influences, but High Rank Riddim stayed close to the roots. Dizzo’s “My Flash Back” is a highlight. Dizzo’s delivery fits the riddim’s earthy feel. Episode’s “Mandela” brings thoughtful lyrics, and Episode is known for using his music to talk about real-life issues. Prince Levy’s “Lonely World” adds a soulful touch, showing why he is respected in reggae circles. Tony Anthony’s “I Will Rise” is another strong track. Tony Anthony is an award-winning artist, having won the Best Reggae Song at the 2012 Canadian Reggae Music Awards for “Torn.” Cruz Rock appears with “War With Love.” Cruz Rock has made a name for himself as a versatile Caribbean artist, winning the 2021 International Reggae and World Music Award for Best Reggae Soca Artist. Other artists on the compilation include Sheldon Senior with “Like A Winna,” Jeck Pilpil with “We Will Rise,” and Ordinary Childhood Ft. Benim on “Let You Down.” A-Teh Ft. Jali Madi’s “Duniiya” brings a unique blend, adding to the riddim’s global feel. REBEL LIBERATION SOUNDS, known for pushing reggae forward, produced the riddim.
