COLOGNE RIDDIM produced by U DEFF RECORDS INC 2023
Cologne Overview
The Cologne Riddim stood out in 2023 for its conscious roots instrumental. Compared to other reggae sets from the same year, this riddim brought a deeper, more thoughtful sound. Many riddims in 2023 focused on dancehall energy or digital beats, but Cologne Riddim’s jazzy layers and laidback style set it apart. Artists like Cyndrum, Dups, and Fyah Blaze Up Stream delivered strong performances here. Cyndrum’s track, "Fat Corn," showed his unique style. Dups, known for his song "Real Life," brought an uplifting message that fit perfectly with the rootsy sound. Fyah Blaze Up Stream’s "Up Stream" kept the positive vibe going, adding his own flavor to the riddim. Other artists on the set include Bad with "One Ina Head" and Shaqstar with "Smoking Proud." Shaqstar’s song added a catchy hook, while Bad gave a solid dancehall touch. Each artist brought something different, but all respected the roots feeling of the riddim. The music arranger played an important role, shaping the sound and making sure each song fit well together.
