GHETTO BLUES RIDDIM produced by 2006 – BIRCH
Ghetto Blues Overview
In 2006, reggae fans felt a wave of nostalgia with the Ghetto Blues Riddim. This riddim brought back the rocksteady flow, a style that shaped Jamaican music in the late 1960s. The sound is smooth and soulful, with steady basslines and gentle percussion. Many roots reggae lovers remember this riddim for its classic feel and modern energy. The dub engineer played a big role in shaping the sound. By carefully mixing each track, the engineer brought out the deep bass and crisp drums. This careful work made the riddim stand out, giving every song a warm, full texture. The mix let each artist shine while keeping the whole project connected. Anthony B’s “Not Mr Easy” is a strong track on this riddim. Anthony B is known for his powerful voice and conscious lyrics. He has released many albums, including the well-known “Universal Struggle.” Christopher Martin brings his smooth vocals to “Giving It.” Martin rose to fame after winning Digicel Rising Stars in 2005, and he is now a respected singer in reggae and dancehall. Chuck Fenda and Cherine Anderson team up on “Coming Over Tonight.” Cherine Anderson is also known for her solo work and for being featured on tracks with big artists like Michael Franti. Conrad Crystal and Suga Roy deliver “No Apology,” adding another layer to the riddim’s variety. Other artists like Delicious with “Let Mi Go,” Fanton Mojah with “World Peace,” Flloyd West with “Keep Trying,” and TOK with “We Can Work It Out” each add their own touch. Looking back, the rocksteady flow of Ghetto Blues Riddim in 2006 is still remembered by roots fans for its classic spirit and new generation energy.
