BUMPY RIDDIM produced by JOE G’S RECORDS 2006

Bumpy Overview

In 2006, the reggae scene saw the arrival of a strong riddim foundation known as Bumpy Riddim. This track base stood out during a time when reggae and dancehall were both experimenting with digital and live sounds. Many riddims from that era leaned heavily on electronic beats, but Bumpy Riddim kept close to classic reggae roots. Its percussion and bass gave it a warm, familiar feeling that reminded listeners of earlier reggae traditions. Artists like Anthony Que, Mikey Mclean, Nyah, and Shimmah each brought their unique voices to this riddim. Anthony Que, known for his song "Sweat," continued to build his reputation as a soulful reggae singer. Mikey Mclean, who performed "Golden Touch," added smooth vocals and thoughtful lyrics. Nyah contributed "Solid Rock," showing his strength as a roots artist. Shimmah delivered "Thank You For The Many Things You Done," bringing heartfelt gratitude to the riddim. The arranger played an important role in shaping the sound, blending soft melodies with steady percussion. This helped the riddim stay true to reggae’s foundation while still feeling fresh for 2006. JOE G'S RECORDS produced the riddim, guiding the project with experience. The label has a history of supporting reggae talent and bringing together strong voices in the genre. Their work on Bumpy Riddim helped highlight social themes and positive messages. Even years later, the reggae track base from Bumpy Riddim is still heard as a solid example of roots reggae from its time.
