Cos Im Black Overview

In 2012, the Cos Im Black Riddim showed the deep roots of reggae music. This release blended classic reggae rhythms with jazzy sounds, giving listeners a fresh but familiar feeling. The riddim’s foundation is strong, with steady percussion and bass, but it also brings in smooth horn lines and subtle keys from jazz. Several artists added their voices to this project, each giving the riddim their own touch. Nerious Joseph performed "Cos I'M Black," adding a soulful and conscious message. Peter Hunnigale, known for his hit single "Be My Lady," sang "Do We Believe" and brought his smooth vocals and experience to the mix. Zulu’s "Clean Up Your Hearts" carried a powerful message, fitting well with the riddim’s roots revival spirit. Other artists also made important contributions. Lenea Herew’s "Show Me" and Max Romeo’s "Another Day" both added different moods and styles. Max Romeo, famous for his classic song "Chase the Devil," brought his legendary roots reggae voice to the project. Each artist’s song worked together, showing reggae’s ability to mix with other genres while staying true to its roots. REAL TALK PRODUCTIONS produced the riddim.
