Brainwash Overview

In 1996, reggae music was in a powerful roots revival. The Brainwash Riddim project became a key part of this movement. At that time, sound systems and producers played a big role in shaping the reggae scene. CROWN STAR, the producer behind Brainwash Riddim, was known for bringing together strong roots artists and creating memorable reggae rhythms. The label helped keep the roots tradition alive while also pushing the sound forward. The Brainwash Riddim featured a line-up of respected artists. Bushman delivered “Lovers Of Men,” adding his deep, soulful voice. Bushman is well known for his hit song “Call The Hearse,” which brought him to international attention. Capleton, another standout, sang “As The Hour Pass By.” Capleton is famous for his energetic style and for songs like “Jah Jah City.” Daddy Rings contributed “Big Up All The Hustlers.” Determine’s “One Draw” and Norris Man’s “Redder Than Before” added more layers to the project. Norris Man is recognized for his album “Persistence,” which helped launch his career. Other artists, including Rebelus with “Play Tried On I,” Shepherd with “What Yuh Gonna Do,” Sizzla with “Brainwash,” and Yami Bolo with “Bring In The Gun,” all brought their own flavor.
