Datta Overview
In 2011, the Datta Riddim became a standout reggae release with its deep, one drop base and conscious sound. The riddim was produced by RUBASKAPEU PRODUCTION, a label known for its meditative and roots-driven approach to reggae music. RUBASKAPEU PRODUCTION has worked to keep traditional reggae sounds alive, and their productions have gained respect among reggae fans for their authentic style. The recording process for Datta Riddim focused on live instruments and a relaxed, steady tempo. This gave the riddim a calming vibe, while still allowing each artist to bring their own energy. The one drop base is especially strong, providing a solid foundation for the vocalists. Artists from different backgrounds came together on this project, each shaping the riddim in their own way. ANTHONY QUE’s “EASE UP THE PRESSURE” opens the set, and his smooth delivery sets a positive tone. EARL SIXTEEN, known for his work with Dreadzone and his classic song “Malcolm X,” brings heartfelt emotion to “MAKE IT SOON.” QUEEN OMEGA, a respected voice in reggae with albums like “Pure Love,” delivers a powerful message on “TRAVELING.” Other tracks like “UNITY I” by CKLM and “ROUGH LIFE” by JAH JAH YUTE add to the conscious mood. The collaboration between LION KILLA AND STREUP DADDY on “PAS FACILE” brings a unique blend, while LORD BITUM’s “JE NE LACHERAI PAS L AFFAIRE” stands out for its determination.
