Deep Secret Riddim – Live Mb Music

Live MB Music’s Deep Secret Riddim arrived in March 2021 as a clean, modern reggae juggling with a soft, love-forward pulse and an easy sway built around 89 BPM. The production stays airy and polished, with the rhythm giving the singers room to stretch melodies rather than crowding them, which suits the project’s focus on romance, reflection and everyday uplift.

The line-up is deeper than the usual headline names. Christopher Martin brings the bright, radio-ready charm he built after winning Digicel Rising Stars and turning into one of Jamaica’s most dependable sing-jay voices. Anthony Cruz, long known for his smooth, soulful tenor and roots in a musical family that includes Garnett Silk, fits the sweeter side of the riddim well. Duane Stephenson gives the set a more grounded edge, his roots sensibility and warm delivery keeping the mood grown and steady. Pressure Busspipe adds the Virgin Islands consciousness he is known for, while Chino’s musical versatility gives Show Some Luv a lighter crossover sheen.

The other cuts deepen the project’s reach: Jah Bouks, Ovadose, Dotta Coppa, MadCell, Ras Goudie, Zamunda, Unstoppable Fyah, Kaë Music and DA Professor all add their own angle to the same instrumental. The result is a tidy 2021 reggae riddim package that moves between lovers’ talk, reflection and uplift without losing its shape. Christopher Martin’s My Birthday, Anthony Cruz’s Weh Yuh Get It From and Pressure Busspipe’s Cream of the Crop are among the cuts that best capture how well this rhythm suits strong melodic voices.
