BLACK STAR RIDDIM produced by THE HANDCART MARKET 2015
Black Star Overview
In 2015, the Black Star Riddim brought something special to the roots reggae scene. Produced by THE HANDCART MARKET, this collection gave singers and deejays a strong and steady musical base. The riddim's sound was warm and relaxed, with a steady drum and bass line that made it easy for artists to share their messages. This style stood out compared to other albums from the same year, which sometimes used more electronic sounds or mixed in dancehall beats. Black Star Riddim kept things classic, with a pure roots reggae feeling. Artists like Janett Tafari, Gab T, Joggo, Ophelie, and Tox each brought their own style to the project. Janett Tafari performed "My Girl," showing her smooth vocals and roots spirit. Gab T delivered "One Children," adding a thoughtful vibe to the collection. Joggo, who is also known for his hit "Jah Jah Descendent," brought a conscious message and international flavor. Ophelie’s "Let It Rain" and Tox’s "Red Moon" added even more variety to the riddim, making the project feel rich and lively. THE HANDCART MARKET, the producer, is known for supporting authentic reggae sounds. With Black Star Riddim, they created a platform where each artist could shine. The label has a history of working with roots artists and building strong riddims that last. The foundation they built on this project helped it become a cultural highlight in 2015. The Black Star Riddim remains a favorite for reggae fans who love real roots music.
