Candle Wax Overview
In the late 1990s, the Jamaican music scene was alive with experimentation, and one standout creation from that era was the Candle Wax Riddim. This musical backdrop was crafted at Fat Eyes Records, a studio known for its innovative approach to reggae and dancehall. The riddim’s sound architect blended a classic reggae groove with modern dancehall energy, creating a foundation that felt both familiar and fresh. The beat moved with a steady pulse, layered with warm basslines and sharp snares, inviting artists to bring their own stories and styles. The journey from creation to release saw the riddim pass through the hands of some of Jamaica’s most respected voices. Each artist brought something unique. Anthony B delivered “Hice Dem,” a track filled with his signature conscious lyrics and fiery delivery. Bounty Killer’s “Blood Bath” stood out with its raw intensity, capturing the urgency of his message. Bucaneer’s “Tell Me Why” added a melodic touch, his vocals riding the riddim’s waves with ease. Buju Banton, known for his deep voice and commanding presence, contributed “Gi Dem A Page,” giving the riddim another layer of depth.
