BAD ROAD RIDDIM produced by KINGS OF KINGS 1998
Bad Road Overview
In 1998, reggae music was full of energy and meaning. The Bad Road Riddim, produced by KINGS OF KINGS, became a strong example of this time. The riddim uses a classic one drop base, which gives it a steady, deep rhythm. This sound stands out compared to other popular reggae and dancehall tracks from the late 1990s, which often used faster or more digital beats. The one drop base in Bad Road Riddim brings listeners back to the roots of reggae, with a focus on live instruments and a warm, earthy feeling. The project features important artists. Anthony B brings power to Hot ! Hot, a song that matches his reputation for energetic performances. Capleton, known for his fiery lyrics and the hit album "More Fire," adds depth with No Evil. Jah Cure, who later gained international attention with his album "True Reflections...A New Beginning," shows his vocal style in Dancehall Vibes. Louie Culture brings a message of unity in One Love Grass Root. Norris Man, with his song Bad Road, shows the conscious side of reggae. Sizzla appears with Juvenile, and Sugar Black & Lehbanchuleh deliver Never Get Weary. Each artist uses the one drop base to share messages about life, struggles, and hope. KINGS OF KINGS, the producer, is known for working with many top reggae artists and helping to shape the sound of late 1990s reggae. The studio hand’s careful mixing and recording skills help the riddim keep its warm, live sound.
