E20 Riddim produced by Witty Records 2023
E20 Overview
Three respected names in reggae came together for the E20 roots riddim: Sammy Dread, Robert Ffrench, and E20 Dub. Sammy Dread is well known for his song "Warrior," and has been a steady voice in reggae since the late 1970s. Robert Ffrench, who delivers "Don't let Me Down" on this riddim, is recognized for his 1984 hit "Bun & Cheese" and has worked with artists like Dennis Brown. E20 Dub brings their own style with "Witty Recordings," adding a deep dub flavor to the project. The E20 roots riddim was crafted by Witty Records, a label with a long history in Jamaican music. Founded by Lloyd "Witty" Dennis in the late 1970s, Witty Records has released classic tracks for artists such as Barrington Levy and Frankie Paul. The label is known for its warm, analog sound and has played an important role in keeping roots reggae alive, both in Jamaica and abroad. For the E20 riddim, Witty Records built a strong, steady foundation that lets each artist shine. The riddim uses classic roots reggae elements—deep bass, sharp drums, and soulful keys—giving singers and deejays a solid base to express themselves. In 2023, this release helped keep the roots reggae sound fresh and relevant, offering both longtime fans and new listeners a taste of authentic Jamaican music. As roots reggae continues to inspire, the E20 riddim stands as a reminder of the genre’s lasting power.
