Cross The Board Overview

In 2006, reggae’s landscape was full of new sounds. The Cross The Board Riddim brought a fresh energy to the scene. Its rhythm was steady and deep, built on a strong roots foundation. The bassline rolled smoothly, while bright keys and percussion added warmth. This riddim was easy to vibe with—both relaxing and uplifting at the same time. Several artists gave standout performances on this track base. Burru Banton And Pinchers teamed up for “Cross The Board,” blending Burru Banton’s gruff delivery with Pinchers’ melodic style. King Django delivered “Herbsman Hustling,” bringing his long-time experience from the US ska and reggae scene—he is known for his work with Stubborn Records and for championing traditional Jamaican sounds in New York. Phenomden, a Swiss reggae singer, added his unique flavor with “Polizischte,” sung in Swiss German. Ras Charmer’s “Golden Touch” brought a soulful voice to the riddim, while Ward 21, famous for their hit “Haters” and their impact as a production group from Kingston, energized the track with “Ambassador.” Behind the scenes, ONE TON RECORDS? shaped the sound. The label is known for creative productions and for working with both Caribbean and international artists. Their approach tied each song together, making the whole riddim feel like one story.
