LIFE SPAN RIDDIM produced by MUSIC BASKET 2017
Life Span Overview
In 2017, the Life Span Riddim became a key moment for roots reggae and dancehall. This project started with a vision from the roots selector, who wanted to bring back the classic reggae sound with a modern touch. The foundation rhythm was carefully built, using vintage drum and bass lines but adding crisp, updated production. At the center of the project was producer MUSIC BASKET, known for blending old-school vibes with new energy. MUSIC BASKET had already made a name for himself in Jamaica’s music scene, working both as a producer and label owner. His earlier productions gained attention for their rich sound and for supporting young talent. The Life Span Riddim gave a platform to rising and established voices. Gyptian, famous for his international hit “Hold Yuh,” delivered “Lala,” a track filled with his signature smooth vocals. Bascom X, who earned respect with songs like “Lonely Girl,” contributed “People Change,” adding a thoughtful, conscious message. Oneil Famous brought his heartfelt style to “Undying Love Reloaded.” Pinky added her soulful touch with “Your Love,” while Blacka Demus energized the riddim with “Wah Duh Dem.” Each artist brought their own story and style, but all were united by the rootsy, uplifting rhythm. The release of Life Span Riddim was more than just another drop. It became one of the cultural moments of 2017, reminding fans of reggae’s deep roots while showing the genre’s bright future.
