BEGINNING RIDDIM produced by DYNASTY RECORDS 2012
Beginning Overview
In 2012, DYNASTY RECORDS released the Beginning Riddim, adding a fresh sound to the roots reggae scene of that year. The label, known for its focus on modern reggae and dancehall, had already built a reputation for quality productions in Jamaica. DYNASTY RECORDS worked with a skilled culture arranger to shape the overall mood and direction of the riddim. The recording process brought together live instruments and digital touches, giving the riddim a warm, authentic feel. The dub cut became a standout, thanks to the unique styles of each artist involved. Gyptian delivered "Everytime," using his smooth voice and melodic flow. Gyptian is well known for his international hit "Hold Yuh," which reached the Billboard Hot 100 and brought him global recognition. Dway brought energy to "The Time is Now," with lyrics that encourage action and hope. Sizzla, a key figure in modern reggae, added "Be by My Side" to the project. Sizzla is famous for his album "Da Real Thing," which is considered a classic in reggae music, and he has released more than 70 albums in his career. The instrumental "Beginning Riddim" by Version gave listeners a pure taste of the riddim’s heartbeat, letting the music speak on its own. Each artist shaped the dub cut by bringing their own voice and message, blending together to create a sense of unity and peace. Fans still return to this dub as a memory of the roots sound of 2012.
