Fingerprint Overview

In 2006, reggae fans enjoyed the Fingerprint Riddim, a project built on the classic one drop rhythm. The foundation of this riddim was laid by skilled musicians, using live instruments to create a warm, rootsy sound. The recording process focused on capturing real drum and bass, giving every track a deep groove and steady pulse. Producer JOE FRASIER played a major role in shaping the release. Known for his work with the Joe Frasier label, he has produced many roots and lovers rock projects over the years, helping to keep classic reggae styles alive. His careful approach and attention to detail made the Fingerprint Riddim stand out in reggae sets of the time. Artists brought their own flavor to the riddim. Ansel Meditation’s "Step Inside" featured heartfelt lyrics, while Anthony B delivered his energetic style on "Blaze The Fire." Anthony B is well known for his hit "Raid The Barn" and his album "Universal Struggle." Ed Robinson’s "Walk With Me" added smooth vocals, and Fiona’s "Goodbye" gave the riddim a soulful touch. Frankie Paul, called the "Jamaican Stevie Wonder," brought his signature sound to "Stranger In Love." Each artist helped shape the one drop base, making the riddim memorable.
