BREAD WINNER RIDDIM produced by FIRE CRACKER 2006
Bread Winner Overview
The rocksteady flow has always been a strong part of reggae’s foundation. In 2006, this classic rhythm found new life through the Bread Winner Riddim. The journey began with roots selectors searching for a sound that honored the past but still felt fresh. They turned to producer FIRE CRACKER, known for his sharp ear and unique dub style. FIRE CRACKER, who has worked with several respected reggae labels, became the guiding force behind the riddim, shaping its jazzy layers and echoing effects. Artists soon joined the project, each bringing their own story. Collie Rose stepped in with "Run Away Girl," adding smooth vocals that matched the riddim’s laid-back style. Gyptian, who had already gained international attention with his hit "Hold You," delivered "Be Strong," showing why he remains a powerful voice in reggae. Marky Scorcha brought a message of pride and respect through "Uplift Black Woman," while Natty King, known for his roots anthem "No Guns To Town," offered the title track "Bread Winner." Each song fit perfectly, blending the warmth of rocksteady with modern touches. The Bread Winner Riddim soon stood out, not just for its sound but for its respect of reggae’s roots. FIRE CRACKER’s production let every artist shine, creating a project that felt both classic and new. The rocksteady flow continued to inspire, proving in 2006 that reggae’s foundation was as strong as ever.
