BLACK PEARL RIDDIM produced by RYAN J PRODUCTIONS 2010
Black Pearl Overview
In 2010, reggae sound systems often played riddims with a strong one drop base. This rhythm style gives a heavy drum beat on the third count, making the music feel steady and deep. The one drop base was a key part of the roots reggae sound at that time. It was different from the faster, digital beats found in dancehall riddims from the same era. The Black Pearl Riddim is a good example of this one drop style. Produced by RYAN J PRODUCTIONS, the riddim is smooth and uplifting, fitting perfectly in both parties and conscious reggae sessions. RYAN J PRODUCTIONS is known for clear vocal mixes and has also released songs like Ryan J — Black Skin and Ryan J — Ready To Love You. The label’s work has reached listeners worldwide, helping to keep roots reggae alive. On the Black Pearl Riddim, artists like Cruz Rock, Fyah King, and Jahdesta bring their unique voices. Cruz Rock performs "Just Like Magic," a song that shows his Caribbean influence. Fyah King is known for "Rain Keeps Falling," which has earned respect in reggae circles. Jahdesta’s "I Spy" adds a spiritual touch. Other artists on the riddim include Janan with "Busted" and Nina Nyce with "Perfect." Each artist uses the one drop base to deliver their message, showing the strength of the riddim and the producer’s vision.
