KOOK KOOK RIDDIM produced by PG MUSIC STUDIO | DEVADA LABEL
Kook Kook Overview
In 2022, the Kook Kook Riddim release gave young reggae singers a real platform to share their voices and culture. Built around a strong one drop bassline, this set stood out among other reggae compilations of its time. While many riddims from that year leaned toward digital sounds or dancehall rhythms, Kook Kook Riddim kept the roots reggae feel alive. The one drop base, with its heavy bass and steady drum pattern, helped carry reggae’s message and gave each artist room to shine. Peter Kush brought energy with “Rise Again,” showing why he’s a respected name in the new reggae scene. Alpancho’s “Before The Time” continued the tradition of conscious lyrics, while Makka Ruffin’s “Speak The Truth” offered a powerful message. Rev. Danny Dread’s “A Friend” added a spiritual touch, and Winston McAnuff, known for his classic album “Diary of the Silent Years,” teamed up with Jimmy French on “Use To Know.” McAnuff’s long career and international collaborations have helped spread reggae worldwide. The dub engineer played a key role, shaping the sound with effects and mixing, making sure each track had deep bass and clear vocals. Behind the scenes, PG MUSIC STUDIO | DEVADA LABEL produced the riddim. This label has a history of supporting both new and established reggae artists, and their work has reached listeners far beyond Jamaica through streaming platforms. Looking back, the Kook Kook Riddim’s one drop base was a strong foundation for reggae in 2022, connecting tradition with new talent and keeping the roots sound alive.
