Ocean Overview
The Ocean Riddim brought together some of reggae's strong voices in 2017. Delus, known for his positive tracks, added his touch with "Take It Easy." Exco Levi, a five-time Juno Award winner from Canada, delivered "Holding On." Gappy Ranks, who gained international attention with songs like "Heaven in Her Eyes," joined with "We Are One." Kulcha Knox, respected for his roots style, sang "Greatest Of Them All." Lutan Fyah, famous for albums like "Phantom War," stepped in with "Do Your Works." Each artist brought their own style, but all stayed true to the roots of reggae. The foundation of the Ocean Riddim was the one drop base, which was a key sound in reggae during 2017. This style gave the riddim its steady, classic feel. The producer behind it, WICKED VYBZ, has made a name for keeping roots reggae alive. WICKED VYBZ is known for working with new and veteran artists, and for producing tracks that get strong streaming numbers across reggae platforms. Other songs on the riddim included Menny Moore's "Mrs. Jones," Perfect Giddimani's "True Believer," and the instrumental "Ocean State Riddim" by Wicked Vybz. The whole set captured the conscious energy of 2017 reggae, with uplifting lyrics and a steady groove. It was a favorite for selectors and reggae fans alike, fitting well into festival and sound system sets.
