Ali Baba Riddim produced by Tad’s Records 2023
Ali Baba Overview
In 2023, reggae fans were treated to a roots revival with the release of the Ali Baba Riddim. The riddim’s sound draws from the classic rocksteady era, a time in Jamaican music when rhythms were slower, and the basslines rolled with a soulful groove. This style set the stage for the roots reggae movement, and its influence can be felt in the easy, flowing beat of this release. Tad's Records, the label behind the Ali Baba Riddim, has a long history in reggae music. Founded by Tad Dawkins, the label is known for producing and distributing some of the genre’s most respected works. Over the years, Tad's Records has released music from legendary artists, helping to keep reggae’s roots alive for new generations of listeners. The Ali Baba Riddim features a strong lineup of established voices. Sanchez delivers “Original Songs,” bringing his smooth vocal style that fans know from hits like “Never Dis Di Man.” George Nooks, who has topped reggae charts with songs like “God Is Standing By,” offers “Ali Baba,” adding warmth and experience. Lukie D shines on “God Is Still Alive,” known for his time with the group L.U.S.T and his powerful solo performances. Nitty Kutchie presents “Sell Out,” while Delly Ranks, an artist celebrated for his versatility, brings “Jah Jah Never Fail I Yet.” Richie Stephens contributes “Badder Than Before,” and Tads Allstar rounds out the set with their own version of “Ali Baba.” This release stands out as one of 2023’s key cultural moments in reggae, blending foundation sounds with new energy for fans worldwide.
