New Baan Riddim

NEW BAAN RIDDIM 2009

New Baan Overview

The New Baan Riddim began as an idea to blend classic reggae sounds with a modern touch. The sound architect behind this riddim worked to capture the warmth and rootsy feel of reggae’s golden era, but with fresh energy for today’s listeners. Each layer was crafted in the studio, from the deep bassline to the lively percussion. The result was a track base that roots fans quickly embraced when it dropped in 2021. Gyptian, known worldwide for his hit “Hold You,” brought his smooth delivery to “New Born.” His voice glides over the riddim, giving the track a hopeful, uplifting feel. Crisoppolis added his own flavor with “Sive Out,” bringing a calm yet commanding presence. Shelly Star and Nuclear teamed up on “Need You Know,” letting their harmonies and island storytelling shine through the rich instrumental. Zabrick’s “Stop The Violence” offered a powerful message, fitting perfectly with reggae’s tradition of conscious lyrics. Jahn Ti rounded out the set with “Rise Up,” a song that encourages unity and strength. Each artist brought their own style, but together, they created a cohesive roots experience. From the studio to the sound systems, the New Baan Riddim quickly found its place in reggae playlists. Fans praised the authentic vibes and strong performances. Looking back, this riddim stands out as one of the key roots releases of 2021, keeping the foundation of reggae alive while inviting a new generation to join in.
