Merry Go Round Riddim produced by Ill Matic Recording 2009
Merry Go Round Overview
In 2009, reggae saw many new riddims, but the Merry Go Round Riddim stood out for its smooth, soulful sound. This set added to the roots reggae output of that year, bringing a fresh but classic feel. The one drop base, which is the heartbeat of roots reggae, is strong in this riddim. Compared to other riddims from 2009, Merry Go Round keeps the rhythm simple and deep, focusing on the steady drum and bass pattern that fans love. This gives it a timeless quality, different from some of the digital or dancehall-heavy productions of the same era. Bitty Mclean’s “Let Them Talk” shines with his sweet vocals and lovers rock style. Bitty Mclean is well-known for his hit “It Keeps Rainin’ (Tears From My Eyes),” which topped charts in the UK in the 1990s. Courtney John delivers “Back In Love,” adding his signature smoothness. Lukie D’s “On Fire” brings energy, showing why he is respected for his vocal range. Lutan Fyah’s “Wild Fire” adds conscious lyrics, while Anthony B’s “Take Time To Know Her” gives a thoughtful message. Anthony B is known for his powerful performances and songs like “Raid The Barn.” Other artists like George Nooks with “Lonely Wont Leave” and Tanto Metro And Devonte’s “Request” help round out the set. The producer, Ill Matic Recording, played a key role in bringing these artists together.
