LOVE AND ONLY LOVE RIDDIM produced by RUFF CUTT MUSIC 2021
Love And Only Love Overview
The 2021 release of the Love And Only Love Riddim brought a fresh sound to reggae, standing out with its rocksteady flow. While many reggae and dancehall tracks of the era leaned towards digital beats and fast rhythms, this riddim kept a conscious and rootsy feel. The steady, rolling groove reminded listeners of classic reggae, but with a modern touch that made it feel new. Artists like Fred Locks, with his song Love And Only Love, delivered vocals that matched the riddim’s thoughtful vibe. Fred Locks is known for his roots reggae classic Black Star Liner, and his presence on this release added depth and history. Prince Allah, performing Man On Board, also helped shape the conscious mood. Prince Allah’s career has included well-loved roots tracks since the 1970s, and his voice brought a sense of wisdom to the riddim. Gwalla Gwalla’s contribution, Love Is The Only Way, added energy and spirit, while the Ruff Cutt Band UK delivered the instrumental Love Only Love Version, highlighting the riddim’s solid bass and guitar work. The music arranger’s role was clear in the way each song flowed together, keeping the classic reggae feeling alive. RUFF CUTT MUSIC, the producer behind this project, is a respected name in UK reggae, known for working with artists like Maxi Priest and Gregory Isaacs. Their experience helped shape the riddim’s sound, blending roots reggae with crossover appeal. The Love And Only Love Riddim proved that reggae’s strength and message were still powerful in 2021, connecting both longtime fans and new listeners.
