BOBBY BABLYLON RIDDIM produced by RAS RECORDS 1984
Bobby Bablylon Overview
The Bobby Babylon riddim is an important roots reggae instrumental that is still played in today’s reggae sessions. This riddim blends classic reggae with touches from other genres like dancehall and lovers rock. The deep bass and steady drums give it a strong roots feel, but the smooth melodies allow artists to add their own style. Barrington Levy brings his well-known voice to “Money Move.” Levy is famous for songs like “Here I Come,” and his unique singing style fits the riddim perfectly. Buju Banton adds energy with “Say Now.” Buju is a Grammy-winning artist, known for his album “Til Shiloh.” Charlie Chaplin’s “Dj Roll Call” shows his skills as a foundation deejay, while Cutty Ranks brings his tough dancehall flow to “Rude Boy Number.” Cobra & Singing Melody team up on “Your Wish,” mixing singjay and smooth vocals. The arranger’s work is key, blending horns, keyboards, and guitar to keep the riddim lively and open for different voices. This makes it easy for each artist to shine in their own way. RAS RECORDS, the producer, has a long history in reggae. The label is known for working with legendary artists and helping roots reggae reach a global audience, especially in the 1980s and 1990s. By keeping the roots sound fresh, the Bobby Babylon riddim continues to connect with both old and new fans.
