COUNT C RIDDIM produced by EXODUS NUCLEAR MUSIC 2018
Count C Overview
In 2018, reggae fans were treated to a roots riddim that brought fresh energy to the genre. This riddim stood out for its conscious sound, reminding listeners of reggae’s deep roots in social commentary and uplifting messages. At a time when dancehall and trap influences were growing in Jamaica, this project brought the focus back to classic reggae vibes. The riddim was produced by EXODUS NUCLEAR MUSIC, a name known among reggae circles for keeping the dub roots tradition alive. The label has a reputation for crafting authentic reggae instrumentals, and their work on this release added a warm, vintage feel that set the stage for each artist’s message. Turbulence, well-respected for his conscious lyrics, delivers “So Lovely.” Turbulence is known internationally for songs like “Notorious,” which topped reggae charts and helped define his career. Tristan Palma, another veteran, brings his experience to “Don'T Mash It Up.” Palma has been active since the 1980s and is best known for hits like “Entertainment.” Hopeton James shares a heartfelt message with “Tribute To Grandma & Grampa,” adding a personal touch to the riddim. Adrian Smith’s “Praise Him” continues the spiritual tradition in reggae, while Cutty Ranks, famous for his dancehall classics like “The Stopper,” steps into roots reggae with “Strange Feelings.” Each artist’s contribution shows the strength and diversity of reggae in 2018. The riddim, guided by EXODUS NUCLEAR MUSIC, proves that roots reggae remains powerful and relevant, offering both nostalgia and new inspiration for today’s listeners.
