CHANT RIDDIM produced by CHALICE ROW RECORDS/GIDDIMANI RECORDS 2022
Chant Overview
The “one drop” rhythm has been a key part of reggae since the 1970s, known for its steady, infectious drum and bass pattern. In 2022, this classic sound was honored in the Chant Riddim collection, produced by CHALICE ROW RECORDS and GIDDIMANI RECORDS. Both labels are respected in the reggae world, with GIDDIMANI RECORDS founded by Perfect Giddimani himself, a well-known figure in modern roots reggae. Chant Riddim brings together a strong lineup of artists, each adding their own style. Perfect Giddimani opens with “Chant,” showing his signature conscious lyrics and smooth delivery. He is known for his hit “Hand Cart Bwoy,” which made waves in reggae charts in 2006. Teflon, another talented voice from Jamaica, delivers “Smoke and Live.” Teflon has built a solid reputation for his powerful messages and has performed at major reggae festivals. Blakkamoore, who brings “When Mi Feel Like It,” is recognized for his work blending reggae and dancehall, and is known for his 2020 album “Upward Spiral,” which was nominated for a Grammy. Aza Lineage, one of the rising voices in roots reggae, gives a strong performance with “Stick Up.” Tikaf, an emerging artist, adds a fresh touch with “Tonight.” The album also features other tracks like “Rub a Dub Style” by Natty Ngwai Konshanz and “Psalm 91” by Anthony B, adding variety and depth. Even now, Chant Riddim stands as a highlight of reggae’s 2022 history, keeping the one drop tradition alive for new listeners.
