Baltimore Overview
The Baltimore Riddim arrived in 2007, showing the roots reggae style of that time. This riddim stood out among other releases because of its warm, live-sounding instruments and uplifting feeling. Many riddims from 2007 leaned toward digital sounds or dancehall beats, but Baltimore Riddim kept a strong roots vibe. Artists like Lukie D brought their unique voices to the project. Lukie D, known for his smooth singing style, performed the song "I`M Helpless" on this riddim. He has been recognized in reggae for his work with the group L.U.S.T. and for solo songs that show his vocal strength. Singing Melody also joined with the song "Ready." Singing Melody is well known in Jamaica for his hit single "Want You Back," which showed his crossover appeal and strong presence on the charts. Tonto Metro And Devonte performed "Anytime" on the Baltimore Riddim. This duo is famous for their hit "Everyone Falls In Love," a classic in dancehall and reggae circles. The riddim was crafted by TAXI RECORDS, a label with a long history in reggae. TAXI RECORDS was started by Sly & Robbie, two legendary producers who helped shape reggae and dancehall. Their production gave the Baltimore Riddim its deep, memorable sound.
