ROCK HARD RIDDIM produced by BASE FRUITS RECORDS 2016
Rock Hard Overview
In 2016, reggae fans saw a return to classic sounds with the release of the Rock Hard Riddim. This foundation rhythm stayed true to the traditional reggae structure, which made it stand out in a year filled with many experimental beats. The riddim’s steady bassline and live instrumentation brought a warm, rootsy feel that listeners appreciated. The music arranger played a key role in keeping the arrangement simple yet powerful. By focusing on authentic reggae elements, the arranger allowed each artist’s voice to shine. The riddim’s jazzy touches added a fresh spark, making it appealing for both selectors and longtime reggae fans. BASE FRUITS RECORDS, the producer behind this release, is known for supporting roots reggae and up-and-coming artists. The label has built a reputation for quality productions, often working with respected singers and musicians. Their releases are popular among reggae selectors and have been streamed widely on platforms like YouTube and Spotify. The artists on Rock Hard Riddim brought their own flavor to the project. Nateesha Stream’s “September Rain” delivered smooth vocals over the classic rhythm, while Lutan Fyah’s “Baby Don’t Cry” added conscious lyrics and heartfelt delivery. Lutan Fyah is especially known for his hit “St. Jago De La Vega” and has worked with many top producers in reggae.
