GIVE I STRENGTH RIDDIM produced by DIGITAL B 1996
Give I Strength Overview
In the mid-1990s, reggae music was shaped by the deep, steady rhythms of roots and rocksteady. Sound systems across Jamaica and beyond played these powerful beats, bringing people together through music and culture. In 1996, a new riddim called Give I Strength arrived, quickly making its mark on the scene. The sound behind Give I Strength was carefully crafted by producer DIGITAL B. Founded by Bobby Digital in the late 1980s, the Digital B label became known for blending digital rhythms with classic reggae vibes. DIGITAL B helped launch the careers of many reggae stars and is famous for producing hits like Shabba Ranks’ “Dem Bow.” The label’s influence is clear in the energetic, polished sound of the Give I Strength riddim. Several respected artists brought their own style to this riddim. Garnett Silk’s “Give I Strength” stands out with his soulful voice and conscious lyrics. Silk was already known for songs like “Hello Mama Africa” and is remembered as one of reggae’s most spiritual singers. Michael Rose, famous for his time with Black Uhuru and a Grammy winner, delivered “Trust In Jah,” adding his unique vocal touch. Morgan Heritage, a family band with roots in reggae royalty, contributed “King Is Coming,” blending harmonies and roots energy. Yami Bolo’s “No One Gonna Get It” completed the set, adding heartfelt emotion. The Give I Strength riddim brought these voices together, filling 1996’s sound systems with culture and unity.
