GHETTO JOURNEY RIDDIM produced by J1 PRODUCTION 2018
Ghetto Journey Overview
In 2018, the Ghetto Journey Riddim brought a fresh yet traditional sound to reggae music. The riddim’s musical backdrop used classic reggae elements, like steady drum patterns and deep, warm basslines. This style echoed the foundation riddims of earlier decades, focusing on roots reggae rather than digital or dancehall trends. Compared to other compilations from the same period, which often experimented with electronic sounds or faster tempos, Ghetto Journey Riddim stayed true to the roots style. This made it stand out among the many releases of that year. Deep Jahi’s “Cross Roads” is a strong example of the riddim’s power. His lyrics and delivery fit perfectly with the rootsy instrumental, giving the song a thoughtful and emotional feel. Propa Fade’s “Just Life” also uses the riddim’s classic sound to tell a real-life story, making listeners connect with the message. Sentimental’s “Never Give Up” brings hope and strength, using the riddim’s steady groove to support positive lyrics. J1 PRODUCTION is the producer behind Ghetto Journey Riddim. Known for working with both new and established reggae artists, J1 PRODUCTION has built a reputation for quality roots reggae releases. The company’s careful approach to production and artist selection has helped its riddims gain respect in the reggae community. The culture arranger played a key role in shaping the sound, making sure each song fit together while allowing each artist to shine. The musical backdrop of Ghetto Journey Riddim remains an important part of reggae history, keeping the roots tradition alive for a new generation.
