MAD LION RIDDIM produced by BIG DREAMS PRODUCTIONS 2016
Mad Lion Overview
The Mad Lion Riddim, released in 2016, became a popular sound at reggae events that year. Produced by BIG DREAMS PRODUCTIONS, the riddim blended classic reggae roots with hints of modern energy. The producer is known for working with both new and established reggae artists, and for bringing lively, danceable beats to the scene. Artists like Clay Morrison, with his song “One Day,” added smooth vocals and uplifting lyrics. Dezi Morrison’s “Mad Lion Roar” brought a strong, cultural message and stood out for its powerful delivery. Esco Levi, who is a multi-time Juno Award winner for Reggae Recording of the Year, gave the riddim an extra boost with “Rise.” His presence on the project helped draw more attention from reggae fans. Karl Morrison’s “Give Me One Reason” mixed soulful singing with the riddim’s steady groove. Kashu Man’s “Reap What You Sow” added a thoughtful, rootsy feel. Each artist brought their own style, but all fit well over the foundation-style beat. The riddim’s musical backdrop also blended well with other genres. Its bassline and drums could fit into dancehall sets, and the melodies worked for both reggae and pop listeners. This made it a favorite at festivals and in reggae playlists. The Mad Lion Riddim remains a good example of how reggae can stay fresh while honoring its roots.
