Gunman Riddim – Dynamite Records

GUNMAN RIDDIM produced by DYNAMITE RECORDS 2006

Gunman Overview

In 2006, a roots reggae instrumental made a deep impression on the scene. The sound was warm and steady, driven by strong percussion and classic reggae rhythms. This mood brought listeners back to the foundation of the genre, with a sense of both reflection and energy. Al Campbell’s “Bad Boy” stood out on this riddim. Campbell, known for his smooth voice, had already made waves with songs like “Gee Baby” and was respected for his work since the 1970s. Clarence Parks added his own touch with “Gunman,” showing his skill as a roots singer. Dynamite offered “Gunman Version,” a version track that kept the riddim’s feel alive. Welton Irie, a well-known deejay, brought his style to “Put It Down,” continuing the tradition he started with hits like “Hotter Reggae Music.” The project was produced and released by DYNAMITE RECORDS. The label is known in reggae circles for focusing on roots and foundation sounds. DYNAMITE RECORDS has released several notable riddims over the years, helping to keep classic reggae styles alive for new audiences. This 2006 release proved that roots reggae still had strong power. With its artists and sound, it captured the spirit of reggae’s foundation and made a mark on the year’s music.
