CANE RIVER RIDDIM produced by DJ FRASS RECORDS 2014
Cane River Overview
In 2014, the Cane River Riddim brought new energy to reggae music. This roots reggae project was led by DJ FRASS RECORDS, a well-known producer from Jamaica. DJ Frass is respected for his work with both reggae and dancehall artists, and his label has released many big tunes over the years. He’s known for his clean, warm sound, and Cane River Riddim is a strong example of his style. The recording process for this riddim was all about live instruments and deep bass. The dub engineer played a big role, mixing each track to highlight the heavy drum and bass lines, while keeping the melodies clear. The result is a rhythm that feels both modern and classic, with every instrument in the right place. The artists on Cane River Riddim each brought their own message and style. Alaine’s "Son In Love" is smooth and heartfelt, while Duane Stephenson’s "African Woman" celebrates strength and beauty. Richie Stephens gives us "Super Star," full of uplifting vibes. Morgan Heritage’s "Why Dem Come Around" adds a roots anthem feel, and Jahcure’s "Struggles" speaks to real-life hardships. Ginjah’s "Double Standard" and Kabaka Pyramid’s "Never Gonna Be A Slave" both deliver strong social messages. J Boog’s "See Dem Deh," Jemere Morgan’s "Run Dem Out," and Jermain Michael’s "Sudden Destruction" each add their own stories to the mix. Together, these artists shaped the Cane River Riddim into a foundation rhythm that still stands out in reggae history. The careful production and meaningful lyrics make it a favorite for many fans worldwide.
