MINDFUL RIDDIM produced by KEVSTAR RECORDS 2021
Mindful Overview
The Mindful Riddim compilation added fresh energy to the roots reggae scene in 2021. Built around a classic one drop rhythm, this project brought together several artists and showcased how reggae can blend with other sounds. The one drop base, known for its steady drum pattern and deep bass, is the heart of roots reggae. On this riddim, it mixes with elements from modern genres, creating a lively and organic feel. Kevstar Records, both the producer and arranger, played a key role in shaping the sound. The label is known for its commitment to authentic reggae, and its projects have gained recognition in reggae circles. The instrumental track, Kevstar Records — Mindful Riddim Instrumental, sets the foundation for the compilation. Its arrangement allows each artist to bring their own style while keeping the island vibe strong. Jody Lee stands out with the song Right Now. Jody Lee is known for smooth vocal delivery, and here, the artist’s voice rides the one drop rhythm with ease. Jae Prynse, with the track Conference, brings thoughtful lyrics and a rootsy tone. Jae Prynse has previously made an impact with songs like Try Harder, which was well received in the reggae community. Lavisch shares a positive message in Likkle Bit a Faith, blending uplifting words with the riddim’s groove. JDon Heights delivers Boss Chick, adding a confident, modern touch. Each artist adds something unique, but all connect through Kevstar Records’ vision and the timeless one drop rhythm. This compilation helped keep reggae’s roots and message alive in 2021.
