BREAKIN’ THE RIDDIM, VOL. 4 – BREAKBEAT PARADISE 2022
Breakin The Overview
In 2022, the reggae scene saw a fresh take on roots music, echoing the classic rocksteady flow that shaped Jamaican culture in the late 1960s. This style, known for its steady beat and soulful basslines, has always been at the heart of reggae’s evolution. The new release, built on this foundation, brought together artists who have made their mark in the modern funk and reggae world. The sound architect behind this riddim crafted a blend of deep percussion and dub influences, making sure the music stayed true to its roots. Each artist added their own touch, layering infectious grooves over the core instrumental. Jayl Funk, known for his energetic style, delivered “Come On Little Girl,” bringing his signature lively vibe. Badboe, who gained attention with tracks like “Selecta,” added a sharp, danceable edge to the mix. Funkin Basstards, with their well-known tune “Rhizoma,” contributed a bass-heavy, rhythmic track that stands out on the riddim. Pecoe’s “Bring Your Booty” and Towlie Dj’s “Limbs” both added unique flavors, keeping the energy high and the party moving. Each song worked with the riddim’s strong roots reggae base, but also showed off the artists’ own styles. The project as a whole reflected the spirit of 2022 roots reggae—deeply connected to tradition but open to new ideas. Fans of reggae and dancehall found this release memorable, not just for its party-ready sound but for its respect for the roots that make reggae timeless.
