Jumpstart Riddim – Gt Taylor/Dynasty Records

JUMPSTART RIDDIM produced by GT TAYLOR / DYNASTY RECORDS 2013

Jumpstart Overview

The Jumpstart Riddim project was a strong addition to the roots reggae releases of 2013. This riddim stands out because it keeps the classic reggae sound but also mixes in fresh elements from other genres. The foundation rhythm is deep and steady, like the roots reggae of the past, but you can also hear influences from dancehall and even some modern pop. This blend makes the riddim feel both old and new at the same time. Bobby Hustle brings his unique style to the project with the song Walk & Live. His smooth delivery fits perfectly with the roots rhythm. Capleton, known worldwide for hits like Jah Jah City, adds his powerful voice to Mek Dem Gwaan. His energy gives the riddim a strong and fiery touch. Nature, who performed at Reggae Sumfest in 2013, delivers Jamaica, a song that praises the island and its culture. Villa Dutch’s Give Thanks And Praise is another standout, showing gratitude and positivity over the roots beat. GT TAYLOR / DYNASTY RECORDS is the producer behind Jumpstart Riddim. GT Taylor is well known in Jamaica for his work as a radio DJ and for founding the popular GT Taylor Christmas Extravaganza stage show. His label, Dynasty Records, has been part of several important reggae releases. The roots selector’s careful choices and mixing help the riddim keep its classic feel. This project is remembered as one of the cultural highlights of 2013, bringing together strong artists and a timeless reggae sound.
