JACQUELINE RIDDIM produced by GAFFA BLUE PRODUCTIONS 2021
Jacqueline Overview
The Jacqueline Riddim release in 2021 stands out as a strong roots reggae project. Compared to other roots drops of its era, this riddim offers a deep, organic sound with a classic feel. While many modern roots releases blend digital and live instruments, this one keeps the arrangements warm and full, with live drums and steady basslines that echo the golden era of reggae. The dub effects add atmosphere, making the tracks feel alive and layered. GAFFA BLUE PRODUCTIONS, a respected name in reggae, produced this riddim. Known for working with both UK and Jamaican artists, GAFFA BLUE PRODUCTIONS has built a reputation for authentic roots releases and has contributed to the UK reggae scene since the 1990s. Each artist brings their own energy to the riddim. Cleon Williams delivers “Scarface Money” with a heartfelt message and smooth delivery. Dixie Peach, known for his work on sound systems since the 1980s, adds “Ruff In The Gideon,” showing his veteran presence. Satalite’s “Jah Shine His Light” brings uplifting lyrics, while Earl Sixteen’s “Jacqueline” stands out—Earl Sixteen is well known for his classic hit “Malcolm X” and has worked with producers like Lee “Scratch” Perry. Errol Bellot’s “Jah Works” continues his tradition of conscious reggae, and Imar Shepherd’s “More Love & Unity” spreads a positive message. Tribute tracks like “Tribute To Hugh Mundell” by Mafia & Fluxy (featuring Patrixx Aba Ariginal), “Tribute To Hugh Mundell” by Patri, and “Tribute To Junjo Lawes” by Patrixx Aba Ariginal show respect for reggae’s history. The culture arranger’s role here is key—choosing the right artists and guiding the sound to keep the roots spirit alive. This riddim is remembered as a cultural highlight of 2021, blending tradition with fresh energy.
