Baltimore Riddim – Star Trail

BALTIMORE RIDDIM produced by STAR TRAIL 1996

Baltimore Overview

In 1996, reggae music was full of energy and new ideas. Many producers were making fast, digital riddims, but the Baltimore Riddim brought a different feeling. This riddim went back to the roots, with a slower pace and deep, relaxed grooves. It gave listeners a chance to enjoy reggae’s classic sound in a modern time. The roots style of the Baltimore Riddim came from skilled musicians and the direction of producer STAR TRAIL. STAR TRAIL was a respected label in the 1990s, known for working with some of reggae’s biggest names and for promoting conscious lyrics. They helped bring a fresh but classic sound to the dancehall scene. On this riddim, several important artists delivered strong performances. Anthony B’s “Bun Down Soddom” is full of fire and energy—Anthony B is known for his powerful voice and for hits like “Raid Di Barn.” Bucaneer’s “Ganja Pipe” adds a playful touch, while Courtney Melody’s “In The Streets” keeps things smooth. Dennis Brown, often called the “Crown Prince of Reggae,” shines on “The More I Excel.” Brown was famous for songs like “Money In My Pocket” and was loved around the world. Devon’s “Poor Man Rise” brings a message of hope. Even today, the Baltimore Riddim captures the true spirit of reggae in 1996, mixing roots tradition with fresh voices.
