DROP IT RIDDIM produced by AWAL RECORDS 2015
Drop It Overview
The Drop It Riddim is built on the classic one drop base, a rhythm style that has shaped reggae for decades. This riddim was released in 2015 and quickly became popular in reggae circles. The steady, echoing drum and bass line made it a favorite at sound system dances and among reggae fans worldwide. Several talented artists recorded songs on this riddim. Anjele brought energy and smooth vocals to “Feeling Right,” delivering a track that fits perfectly with the relaxed mood of the riddim. Beres Hammond, known for his soulful voice, added depth with “I Surrender.” Chuck Fenda’s “Herbalist Farmer” stands out with its strong message and roots influence. Doniki’s “Girl” offers a softer, melodic touch, while Duane Stephenson’s “Marijuana” celebrates reggae’s connection to herbal culture. Other songs on the riddim include Feekez’s “Better World,” Ginjah’s “Welcome To The World,” and two tracks from Gyptian: “Keep Your Calm” and “Weak In The Knees.” Jah Cure also contributed with “This Is One For You Mama.” Each artist brought their own style, but the one drop base ties all the songs together, giving the riddim a unified sound. The culture arranger behind this project made sure every song flowed with harmony and spirit. AWAL RECORDS produced the Drop It Riddim.
