LOVING PAUPER RIDDIM produced by KICKIN PRODUCTIONS 1998
Loving Pauper Overview
In 1998, the Loving Pauper Riddim stood out in reggae music for its conscious and roots-driven sound. At a time when dancehall and digital rhythms were popular, this riddim returned to classic reggae style. The foundation rhythm is warm and soulful, giving space for artists to deliver meaningful lyrics. Frankie Paul, known for his powerful voice and hits like “Call Me,” brings his signature style to the riddim. His song fits well with the roots feeling, showing why he is often called the “Jamaican Stevie Wonder.” Norris Man, who sings “Progressive Line,” is recognized for his conscious lyrics and roots reggae focus. His song on this riddim continues his tradition of uplifting messages. Major Christie’s “You’re Still The One” adds a smooth touch. Singing Melody, with “This Is Your Chance,” is known for mixing lovers rock with reggae. He later won the 2012 Jamaica Reggae Industry Association award for Best Male Vocalist. Tony Curtis, who sings “Anytime,” is famous for his time with the group L.U.S.T. and his solo success. The riddim also includes the “Version — Loving Pauper Riddim,” which is important for selectors. Roots selectors play a key role in reggae, choosing tracks that keep the roots tradition alive and help songs like these reach the right audience. KICKIN PRODUCTIONS produced this release. The label is known for supporting roots reggae in the late 1990s and helped bring classic sounds back to the spotlight.
