BUFF BAFF RIDDIM produced by REAL PEOPLE MUSIC
Buff Baff Overview
The Buff Baff Riddim compilation brought a fresh wave of roots reggae to the scene in 2019. This project stood out for its deep one drop base, which roots fans still talk about today. The riddim was produced by REAL PEOPLE MUSIC, a label known for supporting conscious reggae and giving new and established artists a platform. REAL PEOPLE MUSIC has previously worked with artists like Lutan Fyah and is respected for its authentic sound. A key part of the Buff Baff Riddim’s impact comes from the dub engineering. Umberto Echo, a well-known dub engineer from Germany, handled the mixing and brought out the heavy basslines and clean vocal harmonies. His track, Umberto Echo — Buff Baff Dub, highlights his skill in blending classic reggae elements with modern clarity. The recording process focused on capturing live instruments and real vocal takes, which helped the riddim keep its organic feel. Duane Stephenson & Lutan Fyah’s “Empress Sativa” is a standout, with both artists bringing their signature voices. Duane Stephenson is especially known for his hit song “August Town,” and Lutan Fyah has worked with many top producers in reggae. Kello’s “Tired A Di Lies” and Mark Wonder’s “Crisis” both ride the riddim’s strong rhythm, adding powerful messages. Jerone’s “Brother’s Keeper” and Shanique Marie’s “Our Sitten” show how the artists shaped the base with their unique styles. Each song on the compilation keeps the roots tradition alive, while also making it feel new for 2019.
