Evening News Riddim – Island Rock

Evening News Overview

In 2012, the Evening News Riddim brought new energy to the roots reggae scene. This project was produced by ISLAND ROCK, a label known for supporting fresh reggae sounds from Jamaica. ISLAND ROCK has developed a reputation for high-quality roots productions, adding to the rich reggae tradition. The riddim blends classic roots reggae with hints of dancehall and modern reggae. This mix keeps the music fresh but still true to its roots. The foundation of the riddim is strong, with steady basslines and warm melodies that connect each song. Pinchers leads with "Ancient Of Days." Pinchers is respected in reggae for his smooth voice and hits like "Bandelero," which is one of his most famous songs. On "Ancient Of Days," he brings a thoughtful style, using the riddim’s melodic flow to share messages about life and faith. Original Thriller Ft. Sizzla appear together on "Bring The Sensi Come." Sizzla, known for his 1997 album "Black Woman & Child," is a key figure in modern reggae. His voice, paired with Original Thriller, adds energy and depth to the track. Their song stands out for its catchy chorus and dancehall influences, showing how the riddim can cross genres. The Mighty Diamonds, with their song "Evening News," add harmony and classic roots vocals. The group is famous for "Pass the Kouchie," a reggae anthem. Their experience and smooth harmonies help anchor the riddim. The roots riddim from 2012 still echoes today, blending tradition with new styles. ISLAND ROCK’s work on this release helped keep roots reggae strong, while allowing artists to bring their own flavors to the mix.
