CONTAGUS RIDDIM produced by CUTTY LIFE 2012
Contagus Overview
In 2012, the Contagus Riddim brought back the heart of roots reggae with a classic one drop base. This kind of rhythm is important in sound system culture. The one drop beat gives the music a powerful pulse, making it perfect for big speakers and open-air dances. When sound systems play a one drop riddim, the crowd feels every beat deep in their chest. It’s the kind of rhythm that brings people together on the dance floor. The person behind this riddim is the producer CUTTY LIFE. Known for his sharp ear and love for roots reggae, CUTTY LIFE has worked with many reggae artists over the years. He runs his own label, which has released several well-loved riddims. His productions are known for their rich sound and deep message. CUTTY LIFE is respected for letting artists express real social issues in their music. This release features three artists: Lil Natty, Muddy, and Squeeze. Each one brings something special to the riddim. Lil Natty is known for his energetic style, and his song “Big Truck” is a popular track that gets crowds moving. Muddy brings a joyful vibe with “Carnival Feeling,” a song that celebrates life and good times. Squeeze adds his smooth voice on “Till Morning,” giving the riddim a relaxed, late-night feel. Together, these artists and the producer have made a roots reggae anthology that feels both fresh and classic. The Contagus Riddim is a strong example of how sound system culture and reggae music keep inspiring new generations.
