BLENDER SPECIAL RIDDIM produced by BLESSED MORNING PRODUCTIONS 2018
Blender Special Overview
In 2018, the Blender Special Riddim brought a fresh sound to reggae, but with deep respect for roots tradition. The riddim base is warm and steady, much like other roots anthologies from its time. However, this one stands out for its rich, earthy tones and smooth transitions between tracks. Compared to other riddims of the era, Blender Special feels more grounded in classic reggae, similar to the roots collections that filled sound systems in the late 2000s and early 2010s. The artists on this project each bring their own message. Action Fire delivers “Blessin,” adding his well-known energy—he is famous for his hit “Hotta Fyah,” a staple in reggae. Amadeus sings “Too Lie,” while Beneto’s “Poor Soul” offers a thoughtful, rootsy vibe. Charly Prophet brings fire with “Burning Flame,” and Don Royal’s “Mr Wicked Man” gives a powerful statement. Also featured are Everton Blender with “Trying Man,” Fyah Blaze on “Prayer A Day,” Giddeon with “Iya,” Jaheir’s “Some Point In Life,” and Jdon Heighs on “Serious Times.” Culture arrangers play a big role in shaping the sound, making sure each song fits the roots style and message. BLESSED MORNING PRODUCTIONS, the producer, is known for keeping the classic vinyl sound alive and has released several respected roots projects. Even years later, the Blender Special Riddim still carries the true spirit of 2018 reggae. It remains a favorite for roots fans and selectors, keeping the culture strong.
