Fattie Fattie Overview
In 2006, the one drop base was at the heart of roots reggae. This classic drum pattern gave songs a deep, steady rhythm that defined the sound of the year. Many reggae fans found comfort and energy in the one drop’s simple but powerful beat during this period. Behind the scenes, studio hands shaped the music’s direction. Producers and engineers made sure every element worked together. INSIGHT RECORDS played a key role with their approach to roots reggae. The label, known for its focus on authentic dub sounds, released several influential projects in the mid-2000s and helped bring new artists to wider attention. This roots anthology brought together big names in reggae. Beres Hammond delivered “Try If You Want,” adding his signature soulful voice. Hammond is famous for hits like “Rockaway” and is respected as one of reggae’s most enduring vocalists. Higher Trod contributed “Carry News,” bringing fresh energy to the riddim. Keith Campbell’s “Nah Give Up” added a message of resilience. Natty King, well-known for his song “No Guns to Town,” offered “Earth Pollution,” highlighting social issues. Ras Zipper appeared with “Get Reconnected,” bringing his unique style. Together, these tracks became a staple on reggae playlists in 2006. The combination of the one drop base, skilled studio work, and strong performances made this collection memorable for fans of roots music.
