MOST ROYAL RIDDIM produced by MAXIMUM SOUND 2012
Most Royal Overview
The one drop base is a key sound in roots reggae. It is known for its strong, steady rhythm where the drum hits the third beat. This style started in Jamaica in the 1970s and is often used in conscious reggae music. In 2012, the roots reggae sound was revived through new riddims that kept the one drop base at the center. The Most Royal Riddim is a good example of this revival. It brings together artists like Christopher Martin, Tarrus Riley, Agent Sasco, Cecile, Lenky And Frenchie, and Sizzla. Each artist brings their own style while keeping the roots feeling alive. Christopher Martin, who is known for his hit "Cheaters Prayer," sings "Make A Sound" on this riddim. Tarrus Riley, famous for his song "She's Royal," adds his voice to "Chant Rastafari." Agent Sasco, also known as Assassin, delivers "Survival" with his usual powerful lyrics. Cecile, one of Jamaica’s top female reggae and dancehall singers, performs "Life Hard." Lenky And Frenchie, known for their work in production and rhythms, present "Most Royal." Sizzla, a well-respected roots artist, brings "White Collar Boss" to the mix. The producer behind this anthology is MAXIMUM SOUND. Founded by Frenchie, the label has a long history in reggae and dancehall. MAXIMUM SOUND is known for creating modern riddims with a classic touch, and their releases have reached audiences worldwide. This collection of songs on the Most Royal Riddim keeps the spirit of roots reggae alive, echoing the sounds and messages of 2012.
