JOE FRAZIER RIDDIM produced by DIGITAL B 2016
Joe Frazier Overview
In 2016, reggae saw a strong return to its roots, with new riddims that honored the genre’s foundation while bringing in modern voices. The Joe Frazier Riddim stood out that year as a perfect example of this trend. Its instrumental captured the classic reggae sound, using deep bass and vintage drum patterns that reminded listeners of the music’s golden era, while still feeling fresh and current. The producer behind this riddim, DIGITAL B, played a key role in shaping its sound. DIGITAL B is the label founded by Bobby Digital, a legendary figure in Jamaican music. Since the late 1980s, his productions have helped define both dancehall and roots reggae. His work is known for blending authentic reggae elements with new ideas, and he has produced hits for many top artists over several decades. On the Joe Frazier Riddim, a select group of artists brought their own style to the project. Kabaka Pyramid delivered “Phenomenon,” a track full of sharp lyrics and positive energy. Lutan Fyah’s “Plant the Herbs” focused on cultural themes and roots consciousness. Richie Spice contributed “Highest,” a song that highlights his smooth voice and uplifting message. Cocoa Tea’s “Come on Over” added a sweet, melodic touch, while Degree’s “Love You All Over” brought a playful vibe. Other artists like Anthony Cruz with “Where Would I Be,” Cat with “I Walk with Love,” Jah Mali’s “Mi Rate You,” DYCR’s “Fire Fire,” and Qraig’s “Re-Wine” each added their own flavor, making the riddim a showcase of reggae’s depth and variety. The Joe Frazier Riddim remains a key piece of reggae history, linking the past and present through music.
