FORWARD IN THE ARENA RIDDIM (FRENCH REGGAE) – SEALS RECORDS 2018
Forward In The Arena Overview
The roots reggae sound of 2018 showed its strength with the release of the Forward In The Arena riddim. This riddim carried the classic rocksteady flow, a style that began in Jamaica in the late 1960s. Rocksteady is known for its steady rhythms, soulful basslines, and conscious lyrics, and these elements are clear in this cultural recording. Several talented artists contributed to this project. Forward In The Arena delivered “Lone Ranger,” a track that stands out for its thoughtful lyrics and deep groove. Plus Qu’Ils Ne Veulent, known for working with respected names in French reggae, teamed up with Tiwony on “Nuttea Feat. Tiwony.” Tiwony is a well-known artist from Guadeloupe, and he has won the Hit Lokal Award for Best Reggae Dancehall Album in 2016. La Méthode Douce brought their unique style to the song “Janik Mc.” Le Chat Pa Là performed “King Daddy Yod,” adding more variety to the riddim’s lineup. Each artist gave their own energy to the project, blending French and Caribbean influences. Other songs on the riddim include “Sonnez L’Alarme” by Straika D, “Reggae Music” by Difanga, and “Kill Dem Bad” by Mathieu Ruben. The riddim also features “7 Seals Posse” by Typical Fefe and “Padone Yo” by King Kalabash. This collection is a strong example of reggae’s lasting power in 2018. With its steady percussion and meditative feel, the Forward In The Arena riddim connected artists and listeners across cultures, keeping the roots reggae tradition alive.
