Follow Fashion Overview
The roots riddim behind this season’s reggae favorite came together in a Kingston studio in 1981. The session was guided by the creative arranger, who shaped the sound with a deep roots feeling and steady, relaxed energy. The producer, Linval Thompson, is well known for his work with many reggae artists and his influence in the early dancehall era. At the heart of this riddim is the Roots Radics Band. They play "Dub Fashion," a track that shows off their signature heavy basslines and tight rhythms. The Roots Radics Band were the main session band in Jamaica during the early 1980s and played on countless classic reggae hits. Next, Sammy Dread & Saddle Dread team up for "Follow Fashion."

The song "Follow Fashion" also appears as Sammy Dread And Saddle Dread, showing their strong musical partnership on this riddim. Fans in reggae circles are loving the rootsy sound and lively storytelling in these tracks.
