KING STREET RIDDIM produced by APS COLUMBIAN 2014
King Street Overview
In 2014, the King Street Riddim stood out as a strong roots reggae collection. At a time when many reggae albums were blending pop and electronic sounds, this riddim kept the classic roots style alive. The album featured Aps Columbian, Booba Starr, Kezz, and Nyashane, each bringing their own energy to the project. Aps Columbian, known for his work as both an artist and a producer, led the project with the track "Aps Columbian — King Street Riddim." He is also the founder of the Dubophonic label, which focuses on roots and dub music. His production on this riddim made sure every track had a deep, dub-influenced sound. The dub engineer’s careful mixing gave the songs a warm, layered feel that was true to reggae’s roots. Booba Starr’s "Booba Starr — Things A Get Rougher" delivered a powerful message, showing why he is respected in the reggae scene. Kezz added his voice with "Kezz — I - Uprising," bringing uplifting lyrics to the collection. Nyashane’s "Nyashane — Town Get Hard" offered a look at real-life struggles, adding depth to the album. Compared to other reggae collections from 2014, King Street Riddim focused more on traditional sounds and conscious lyrics. This helped keep the roots reggae spirit alive during a time of change in the genre.
