Big Stone Overview
When the dub version of the Big Stone Riddim dropped in 2001, reggae fans were quick to praise its conscious feel. Many listeners said the deep, echoing sound brought a new energy to the roots scene that year. Even today, roots fans often talk about this dub cut as a standout moment from the early 2000s. The original riddim featured strong contributions from three artists. Honey Cone’s “Inna De Ghetto” gave the project a heartfelt touch, with lyrics that connected with anyone facing struggles. Norrisman, known for his positive messages and roots style, added “Aint No Time To Hate.” Norrisman’s career includes the well-known album *Persistence*, which helped establish him as a respected voice in modern reggae. Turbulence, who later gained wider attention with his hit “Notorious” in 2004, offered “Wanna Be Loved” on the riddim. Each artist brought their own vibe, helping the project reach a broad audience. Behind the sound was BIG STONE PRODUCTIONS, a label with a reputation for quality roots reggae releases. They handled both the studio work and production, making sure the riddim stayed true to its island roots. The label is respected for supporting conscious reggae and helping new voices find their place in the genre. Looking back, it’s clear why the dub version of this riddim is still remembered. Its thoughtful production and strong artist performances made it a classic for roots reggae fans.
