Ital Jockey Riddim – Sankofa Productions 2009
Ital Jockey Overview
In the late 1960s, rocksteady music brought a slower, soulful sound to Jamaica. This style influenced many reggae riddims that came after. By 2009, some producers kept the rocksteady flow alive, mixing it with modern reggae and dancehall. The Ital Jockey Riddim is one example from that year. It features artists like Richie Spice, Jah Cure, Gyptian, Capleton, and Cocoa Tea. Each artist added their own touch to the riddim, keeping the spirit of rocksteady in their music. Richie Spice, known for his hit "Earth A Run Red," recorded "Dont Call Mi No Dog" on this riddim. Jah Cure, who reached number one on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart with "The Cure" in 2015, performed "You Deserve The Best." Gyptian, famous for his song "Hold Yuh," contributed "Eyes On The Prize." Capleton, a respected figure in reggae and dancehall, added "Nah Tek." Cocoa Tea, who sang at Reggae Sunsplash and is known for "Good Life," performed "Inside Out." Other artists on the riddim include Khago with "Up Hill Climb" and Pressure with "Perfect Lover." The riddim was produced by Frenchie, a well-known reggae producer who has worked with many top Jamaican artists. Fans still play this rocksteady flow as a roots memory of 2009. The Ital Jockey Riddim brings together strong voices and classic rhythms, showing how the old and new can blend in reggae music.
