A MAJOR RIDDIM produced by BRAETON CONNECTION RECORDS 2009
A Major Overview
In 2009, reggae fans welcomed a strong new riddim from BRAETON CONNECTION RECORDS. The label, known for its focus on roots reggae, helped shape the Jamaican sound through the 2000s. Their releases often reached listeners worldwide, and this project added to their reputation for uplifting, conscious music. The dub cut of this riddim stayed true to the classic reggae structure. It was built for sound system culture, where heavy basslines and echoing drums fill the air at street dances. Dub versions let DJs and selectors control the vibe, dropping in vocals or effects to excite the crowd. This riddim’s dub gave space for the music to breathe, letting each instrument shine. BRAETON CONNECTION RECORDS acted as the sound architect, blending artists and ideas into a single, unified rhythm. The compilation features strong voices from the reggae scene. Anthony B’s “Jah Light” stands out—Anthony B is well known for his powerful lyrics and has released albums like “Universal Struggle.” Zimunis brings energy with “Hungry,” while Singer J’s “Bad Mind” adds a smooth touch. Perfect, who earned respect for his hit “Hand Cart Bwoy,” delivers “Jah Love.” Emanuel B appears with “Open Your Eyes,” adding another layer to the collection. Each artist brings their own style, but together they create a sound that celebrates reggae’s roots and message. This 2009 release is proof of reggae’s unity and strength, especially when the dub cut connects back to Jamaica’s sound system tradition.
