INSPIRATION RIDDIM produced by SCRAPPER RECORDS 2013
Inspiration Overview
In 2013, the roots reggae scene got a strong boost from the Inspiration Riddim. This project brought classic reggae vibes back to the front, using the power of sound system culture. Sound systems have always been important in reggae, bringing music to the streets and letting people feel the bass and the energy together. The riddim’s heavy bass, live horns, and steady drum patterns are perfect for big speakers and outdoor dances. Behind the project is SCRAPPER RECORDS, a label known for focusing on roots reggae and sound system productions. SCRAPPER RECORDS has been active in the reggae community, working with both new and experienced artists. Their productions often feature live instruments and a real attention to the old-school sound, which helps keep the roots tradition alive. Several artists brought their voices to the Inspiration Riddim. Alex — T stands out with two tracks, “Mama Don’T Cry” and “Where Is De Love.” Chains delivers “So Beautiful,” adding a soulful touch to the riddim. Firelamp’s “My Inspiration” keeps the positive message going, while Janice offers “Like A Bird,” showing her smooth vocal style. Lukie Itch rounds out the lineup with “Gyal Is Myn,” bringing energy to the mix. These artists are all respected in the reggae scene. For example, Chains is known for his earlier work on other roots riddims, and Janice has been praised for her live performances. Altogether, the Inspiration Riddim shows how sound system culture and roots reggae still inspire both artists and fans today.
