Black Tears Overview

The journey of the one drop base in reggae is a story of rhythm, innovation, and connection. Born in Jamaica, this drum pattern became the heartbeat of roots reggae, shaping countless classics. In 2020, DONSOME RECORDS gave the one drop a fresh voice with the release of Black Tears Riddim. The label, founded by Adrian “Donsome” Hanson, is known for blending tradition with new energy, and has produced tracks that gather millions of streams worldwide. The studio hand behind Black Tears Riddim paid close attention to detail. The team worked carefully to capture the warmth and groove of classic reggae, while adding a modern touch. Each artist brought their own style, recording vocals that fit perfectly with the laid-back yet powerful instrumental. Marcia Griffiths, a living legend, delivered “Black Tears,” a song full of emotion and grace. Lutan Fyah’s “Yuh Ungrateful” brought thoughtful lyrics and his signature fire. Anthony B, known for his energetic delivery, added “So Dangerous” to the mix. Chezidek’s “Bad Seed” and Bugle’s “Allow Me to Live” showed the riddim’s versatility, each track carrying a unique message. Other artists like Glen Washington with “Hold On To A Feeling,” Tommy B’s “Crying,” Korexx’s “Still a Win,” Perfect Giddimani’s “Fry Bone,” and Kailash’s “Seems so Strange” all contributed to the riddim’s rich soundscape. Through careful production and strong performances, Black Tears Riddim highlights how the one drop base continues to inspire both classic and modern reggae artists. Its influence remains strong, connecting generations and keeping reggae’s spirit alive.
