HUNTS BAY RIDDIM produced by 1982 – PRINCE JAMMY
Hunts Bay Overview
The Hunts Bay reggae track base is a classic rhythm that continues to be important in today’s reggae and dancehall culture. This riddim was produced by Prince Jammy, who is known for his pioneering work in digital reggae and for producing Wayne Smith’s hit “Under Mi Sleng Teng.” Prince Jammy’s influence is easy to hear in the tracks “Conspiracy On Neptune” and “The Crowning Of Prince Jammy.flac,” which both show his skill in creating unique sounds. Junior Reid, a respected reggae artist famous for songs like “One Blood,” brings strong vocals to “Hunts Bay,” “Jail House,” and “Woman Change Your Ways.” His style fits perfectly with the deep rhythm of the riddim. King Tubby, known as a founder of dub music, adds his special touch on “Confinement Dub,” using echo and effects to create a powerful atmosphere. Nicodemus, a well-known deejay from the early dancehall era, delivers “Life In A Jail House,” keeping the energy high. Vivian Jones, a singer with a soulful voice, performs “Fire,” adding even more depth to the lineup. This recording also features Wayne Smith on “Ism Skism” and Yellowman, the dancehall legend, with “Rose Marie.” The Hunts Bay riddim is still a favorite for selectors in reggae parties today, showing its lasting power in global reggae music.
