CONQUERING LION RIDDIM produced by 1974-1976 – VARIOUS LABELS
Conquering Lion Overview
If you love reggae and dub, this new release on the Conquering Lion riddim is one to check. It brings together classic artists and fresh sounds, mixing reggae roots with hints of other genres. The riddim has a steady groove, but you can also hear touches of jazz, funk, and even early hip hop in the way the drums and bass move. This blend keeps the music feeling alive and modern. Augustus Pablo & Vivian Jackson bring a deep vibe with “Pablo Dread In A Red.” Augustus Pablo is famous for his melodica playing, a sound that changed reggae forever. His album “King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown” is a reggae classic. On this riddim, his work stands out, especially in “Tippa Tone Blues,” where his melodica floats over the rhythm. Big Youth, a legendary deejay, shines on “Big Youth & Vivian Jackson Yabby Youth” and “Lighting Flash Weak Heart Drop.” Big Youth’s style helped shape reggae in the 1970s, and his hit “S-90 Skank” is still loved today. Devon Russell brings soulful energy to “Race Track Riot (7)” and “Rat & Bat (7),” while Dicky Burton’s “God Is Watching You” adds a roots message. The sound architect, King Tubby, is known for his pioneering dub mixes. His “King Tubby's Rock” shows his genius with echo and space. This release keeps reggae strong, blending new and old, and holding steady in today’s scene.
