Kuff Overview

If you’ve spent time in roots reggae sessions since 2016, you’ve likely heard the Kuff Riddim compilation. This instrumental’s journey began with producer LIVE AND DIRECT INC, a name known for keeping reggae’s classic sound alive. Based in Jamaica, LIVE AND DIRECT INC has worked steadily since the early 2000s, producing riddims that respect tradition while reaching new listeners. Their releases often gather strong streaming numbers among reggae fans worldwide. The Kuff Riddim itself was built with deep, rolling percussion and live-feeling bass—true to roots reggae but fresh for the time. Once the instrumental was ready, LIVE AND DIRECT INC gathered a talented lineup of vocalists to bring it to life. Iq Michael and Danny English each take on “Black Or White,” giving the riddim two different flavors. Iq Michael, known for his conscious lyrics, delivers a heartfelt version, while Danny English, famous for his hit “Party Time” with Egg Nog, brings his unique energy. Triston Palma, a respected veteran with the classic “Entertainment” to his name, voices “Suffering Time.” He’s joined by Bashy Bashy, who also gives his take on “Suffering Time,” showing the riddim’s versatility. Destiny stands out with two tracks: “Gi It Weh” and “Real Hot Gal.” Destiny’s rising profile in the reggae scene made these cuts favorites in sessions. Each artist brings their own message, keeping the roots spirit strong.
