Earthquake Riddim – Meditations Music

EARTHQUAKE RIDDIM produced by MEDITATIONS MUSIC 2016

Earthquake Overview

The Earthquake Riddim brought fresh energy to the roots reggae scene in 2016. Produced by MEDITATIONS MUSIC, this riddim stands out for blending classic reggae with hints of other genres. Heavy basslines and steady drum patterns form the base, but there are also touches of jazz and soul. This is especially clear in Jerry Johnson — Earthquake Riddim Horns, where Johnson’s saxophone adds a smooth, jazzy layer over the reggae beat. Jerry Johnson is well known for his work with Studio One and as a top session musician in reggae. Glen Washington — Exalted brings a warm, reflective vocal style to the riddim. Washington is famous for his hit "Kindness for Weakness" and has been a respected voice in reggae since the 1990s. His song on this riddim keeps the roots feeling alive, with lyrics about hope and strength. Su' Luv — Stay Away offers a different mood, with soulful singing and a message of caution. The blend of reggae rhythm and R&B-style vocals shows how the riddim crosses musical borders. Ansel Meditations appears twice: Ansel Meditations — City Life and Ansel Meditations — Humble Yourself. Ansel is part of The Meditations, a group known for their work with Bob Marley. His songs on this riddim focus on daily struggles and personal growth, fitting well with the roots tradition. MEDITATIONS MUSIC, the producer, has a long history in reggae production and is known for keeping the roots sound strong while trying new ideas.
