Notebook Riddim – Sam Diggy Music

Sam Diggy Music’s Notebook Riddim landed in 2022 as a six-cut reggae juggling with a clean digital rollout and a distinctly modern roots feel. The backing track has a steady, mid-tempo pulse, roomy drums, and a bassline that keeps the whole thing moving without crowding the vocals. It sits comfortably in that contemporary reggae space where melody, message, and a little dancehall edge can all live on the same instrumental.

Sam Diggy Music has long worked the riddim format with a catalog that includes earlier projects like Bread and Butter Riddim, and Notebook fits that lane as a producer-led showcase rather than a one-off single drop. The lineup mixes veteran weight with newer voices, which helps the riddim breathe. Pressure Busspipe’s Way How It Is brings his smooth, elastic phrasing to a song that feels reflective without getting heavy. Perfect Giddimani’s Sad Faces gives the rhythm a sharper, more pointed tone, with his trademark sing-jay delivery cutting through the groove. Kiddus I and Infinite’s Cup And The Lips is the project’s deepest roots moment, pairing a living legend with a younger voice in a way that feels natural rather than forced.

Dizzy Dee’s No Sense and Thrillout’s Give Ears add more of the conversational, street-level energy that keeps the set from becoming too polished. The whole thing works because the productions leaves space for each artist to sound distinct, and that is exactly what a good riddim should do.
