ESSENCE RIDDIM produced by ICE BERG RECORDS 2006
Essence Overview
The Essence Riddim started with a simple idea in the studio: bring back the classic reggae sound, but make it fit for 2006. The musicians and producers worked together to create a rhythm that felt both familiar and fresh. ICE BERG RECORDS led the project. The label is known for supporting roots reggae and dancehall artists, and it has released several notable riddims over the years. ICE BERG RECORDS focused on uplifting messages and a vintage reggae vibe for this release. The artists on the Essence Riddim each brought their own style. Assailant’s “2 Girls In My Life” stands out for its catchy melody and honest lyrics. Carl Morris delivers “Sound Boy,” a track that shows his strength as a vocalist. Don Mafia’s “Cry For Love” adds emotion to the riddim, highlighting real-life struggles and hope. Natty King, known for his hit song “No Guns To Town,” gives us “Pumps And Pride,” showing his consistent roots reggae influence. Sasha, who gained international attention with her song “Dat Sexy Body,” adds a smooth touch with “Runaway With Me.” This riddim was a favorite for reggae DJs and sound systems in 2006. Its foundation kept the roots of reggae strong, while the artists and producer made sure it felt new. The Essence Riddim remains a reminder of reggae’s ability to mix tradition with modern energy.
