JAH RIDE RIDDIM produced by ETHIOPIAN TASTE 2001
Jah Ride Overview
Released in Jamaica in 2001, the Jah Ride Riddim compilation made a big mark on the dancehall scene. The album brought together several talented artists, each adding their own style to this energetic riddim. Capleton, known for his powerful voice and fiery lyrics, features on the track "Long Time." By 2001, Capleton was already famous for songs like "Tour" and for his influential role in conscious dancehall music. Jah Mason also appears on the compilation with "Black Woman." Jah Mason is respected for his uplifting messages and later gained more attention with his album "Most Royal" in 2006. Jah Ride delivers the instrumental cut, simply called "Version," letting the riddim shine on its own. Keishure adds "Life Of A Hustler," giving a raw perspective on daily struggles. Ras Iwah’s "One Day" brings roots and hope to the mix. Behind the scenes, ETHIOPIAN TASTE is the producer who shaped the sound of this project. Known for his work in Kingston studios, ETHIOPIAN TASTE has produced several underground hits and helped launch the careers of local artists. His attention to detail and authentic approach made the Jah Ride Riddim stand out in a crowded year for dancehall. This compilation is a strong example of what yard studios could do in 2001. The riddim’s heavy bass and lively energy kept sound systems booming at every clash. With a mix of established and rising voices, the Jah Ride Riddim remains a memorable moment in dancehall history.
