BOMB DROP RIDDIM produced by RUSSIAN PROD 2009
Bomb Drop Overview
The Bomb Drop Riddim from 2009 is a roots reggae compilation that many fans still remember fondly. This project brought together some strong voices in reggae. Gyptian, known for his international hit "Hold You," appears twice on the riddim with "Better Day" and "Love To Give." His smooth style and heartfelt delivery stand out on both tracks. I Octane, an artist famous for uplifting songs like "Lose A Friend," adds his own energy with "This Is Real." His lyrics and performance bring a thoughtful vibe to the compilation. Mia J, with "Reason Im Breathin," gives the riddim a gentle and soulful touch. Nicky B, who has worked with big names like Sean Paul in the past, keeps things lively with "Well Be Rockin." Ras Penco, who gained attention with his song "Thousand Miles," offers a romantic side through "Hey Baby." The riddim itself has a rocksteady flow that captures the spirit of reggae in 2009. The beats are steady and warm, echoing the roots sound that reggae fans love. RUSSIAN PROD, the producer behind this project, is also known as Tarik Johnston. He runs Head Concussion Records, a label that has produced hits for artists like Vybz Kartel and Sean Paul. RUSSIAN PROD’s work on Bomb Drop Riddim shows his talent for blending classic reggae rhythms with fresh ideas. Even years later, the Bomb Drop Riddim still brings listeners back to the roots of reggae, with each artist adding their own special touch.
