21 GREATNESS RIDDIM produced by INNOVATION MUZIK 2021
21 Greatness Overview
The one drop rhythm is a classic beat in reggae music. It started in Jamaica in the 1970s and became the heart of roots reggae. The one drop is easy to recognize — the drum hits hard on the third beat, giving reggae its special groove. Even today, this rhythm is a strong base for new reggae songs. On the 21 Greatness Riddim, several well-known artists bring their voices to this classic sound. Tarrus Riley sings “Be Great.” Tarrus Riley is famous for his hit “She’s Royal,” which made him a household name in reggae. Queen Ifrica performs “Bleed Out.” She is known for her powerful lyrics and her song “Below the Waist” was a big success in Jamaica. Luciano, another respected reggae singer, gives us “Cover Me.” Luciano is often called “The Messenjah,” and he was nominated for a Grammy Award for his album “A New Day.” Nature Ellis adds “Let Them Talk,” and Gott Yo brings “Never Leave My Side.” Each artist brings their own style, but all stay true to the roots sound. Behind the scenes, the producer INNOVATION MUZIK arranges the riddim. INNOVATION MUZIK is known for working with both new and established reggae artists. The label’s productions often get thousands of streams online and are respected in the reggae community for keeping the music’s roots alive. With the one drop beat at its core, the 21 Greatness Riddim shows how reggae’s foundation can still feel fresh. In 2021, these songs kept the spirit of classic reggae alive for a new generation.
