JUST SAY WHEN RIDDIM produced by HEAVEY BEATS 2013
Just Say When Overview
In 2013, reggae music was in a moment of change, with roots riddims holding strong even as new digital styles grew popular. The “Just Say When Riddim” stood out that year, bringing a classic reggae sound with thoughtful, uplifting messages. It quickly found its way into reggae playlists, showing how much listeners still loved the deep, steady rhythms and live band feel. Behind the sound was the dub engineer, whose touch gave the riddim its rich, echoing textures. The mixing brought out the horns and harmonies, letting each vocal shine. The engineer’s work made every song on the riddim feel fresh and alive. The producer, HEAVEY BEATS, played a major role in shaping the project. Known for working with both reggae legends and new voices, HEAVEY BEATS has a reputation for crisp production and strong arrangements. The label’s releases often feature on reggae radio and streaming playlists, helping to keep roots reggae in the spotlight. On this riddim, Beres Hammond’s “No Love Like Your Love” brings his smooth, soulful voice. Hammond is famous for hits like “Rockaway” and has been nominated for a Grammy, making any release from him special. Kashief Lindo’s “Just Say When” adds a gentle, heartfelt touch. Lloyd Brown, with “Blessed Love,” is respected for his long career and albums like “Dreams to Remember.” Nikesha Lindo’s “Nice And Easy” and Glen Washington’s “Put Away Your Guns” round out the set, each adding their own warmth and message. Together, these songs show why the roots riddim of 2013 still echoes today.
