BIG SHIP RIDDIM produced by 1982-199x – POWER HOUSE
Big Ship Overview
Fans still hear the Big Ship Riddim in today’s reggae sets. This classic sound comes from the 1980s and 1990s, a time when reggae was changing but still kept its roots. The one drop base in this riddim stands out. It is deep, steady, and holds the whole song together. Many reggae sets from the same era used more digital sounds or faster rhythms, but the one drop here keeps things simple and strong. The artists on this riddim are some of reggae’s best. Eek-A-Mouse is known for his unique voice and style. His song "You Na Love Reggae Music" is a favorite among reggae fans. Freddie Mcgregor brings smooth vocals to the track. He is famous for his hit "Big Ship," which reached the UK charts and became one of his signature songs. Half Pint also appears on this riddim with "Dance Hall Vibes." He is respected for his role in bridging roots reggae and early dancehall. The musicians behind the riddim are just as important. King Jammy & Roots Radics worked together on "Storming The Death Star," showing their skill in creating powerful rhythms. King Jammy is known for his work as a producer, especially in the digital reggae era. Today, the one drop base and uplifting feel of this riddim keep it fresh and popular with new reggae fans.
