Have You Ever Riddim – Reggae Vibes

HAVE YOU EVER RIDDIM aka PON DEM SUNDAY RIDDIM produced by L.Ward and S. Coburn for Fat Eyes Production and REGGAE VIBES 1998

Have You Ever Overview

Rocksteady, with its slower and steady rhythm, laid the foundation for modern reggae. This flow gave singers and deejays a strong roots base, allowing their voices and lyrics to stand out. In 1998, the roots reggae scene saw a project that captured this spirit, bringing together several respected artists and producers. Courtney Melody, known for his unique voice and hits like "Bad Boy," added his track "Nuthin Nah Gwan" to the project. Jah Cure, who would later gain international attention with "Longing For," delivered "Pon Dem Sunday," showing his early promise as a roots singer. John Holt, a legendary figure from the rocksteady era, contributed "Bad Girl." Holt is well known for his classic "Police in Helicopter" and his long career with The Paragons. Marlon Stewart brought "Nice And Slow" to the mix, while Spanner Banner, famous for his song "Life Goes On," offered "Feels Right." Each artist used the rocksteady-inspired riddim to bring their own style and emotion. The project was produced by L. Ward and S. Coburn for Fat Eyes Production and REGGAE VIBES. Fat Eyes Production is a respected label in Jamaica, known for working with top reggae artists and creating many popular riddims in the 1990s. Their work on this project kept the sound focused and true to roots reggae. Together, these artists and producers created a release that echoed the roots and energy of 1998 reggae, while honoring the lasting influence of rocksteady.
