Clarity Riddim – Various Artists

Clarity Riddim produced by Various Artists 2010

Clarity Overview

In 2010, reggae was changing. Dancehall was popular, but some producers wanted to bring back roots reggae sounds. That’s where the Clarity Riddim fit in. It had a warm, rootsy beat and a relaxed energy, reminding people of reggae’s deeper side. The riddim was put together by a producer known as Various Artists. This isn’t just a name for random acts—it’s a real production team. They often work with up-and-coming singers, giving new voices a chance to shine. Various Artists have been active in Jamaica’s reggae scene, sometimes working with smaller labels and always pushing for a roots revival. Bolo Ranks stands out with his track “No.” He’s known for his energetic delivery and has had local hits before, including “Gal Dem Want.” Daddy Stone brings “A Who Dem,” adding his rough, classic voice to the mix. Empress I steps in with “Critical,” showing the power of female voices in reggae. J Son’s “Dem Bawl” is another strong entry—he’s been recognized for his songwriting skills in the Caribbean. Jah Fyah’s “Fyah Buss” closes out the main set, bringing a fiery energy. Clarity Riddim was a fresh stage for these artists. It helped roots reggae stay alive in 2010, giving both new and seasoned artists a place to share their message and style.
