Grenade Overview
In 2006, reggae fans enjoyed a wave of cultural rhythms that spoke to real life and island roots. One standout was Grenade Riddim, a foundation rhythm that echoed the conscious vibes of the time. The riddim’s sound was shaped by a skilled dub engineer, who used deep bass and echo to create a warm, hypnotic feeling. This dub influence gave the tracks a unique energy, making them favorites in reggae sets. The producer credited as VARIOUS ARTISTS brought together a range of singers and DJs for this release.

Boogie B’s “I Don’t Why” adds a catchy, melodic touch, while Cargne’s “Grab Up Mi Friend” brings a rootsy, uplifting message. Cash’s “Put Your Back Into It” keeps the dancefloor moving.
