    BIG SHIP RIDDIM produced by THOMPSON SOUND 1983

    Big Ship Overview

    The Big Ship Riddim brings a classic roots reggae feeling to today’s playlists. Its rhythm is steady and deep, with a strong bassline and drums that echo the foundation of reggae’s early days. The riddim’s groove is laid-back but powerful, inviting listeners to move and feel the conscious energy at its heart. The music captures the spirit of street culture, making it a favorite for both longtime reggae fans and new listeners. Barrington Levy stands out with “True Love,” his signature vocal style riding the riddim smoothly. Levy is well known for his hit “Here I Come,” which helped define his career and remains a reggae anthem. Freddie Mcgregor delivers “Big Ship,” a song that shares its name with his famous 1982 album, which brought him international recognition. His soulful voice adds a rich layer to the project. The Roots Radics Band, known for their tight rhythms and legendary sessions, contribute “Storming The Death Star.” This band played a key role in shaping the sound of roots reggae in the 1980s. Behind the scenes, THOMPSON SOUND guides the production. Founded by producer Linval Thompson, the label is respected for its roots reggae catalog and collaborations with top artists. The sound system culture keeps the riddim alive in today’s dances, proving its lasting impact on reggae music.
