One Drop Overview
The release of One Drop Riddim in 1995 brought together a powerful lineup of tracks that quickly became favorites in reggae circles. Listeners were drawn to the soulful “Every Man Has A Way” by B Hammond Luciano T Rebel, a song that stands out with its heartfelt message and smooth delivery. Another highlight is “Wealth And Money” by Selassie I Warriors, which adds a thoughtful perspective over the riddim’s deep grooves. Cocoa Tea, a well-known voice in reggae, contributes “Israels King” to the collection, along with “Israels King Version,” which offers a fresh instrumental spin on the same theme. Cocoa Tea is celebrated for his smooth vocals and conscious lyrics. He is widely recognized for his hit song “Rikers Island” and for his appearance at Reggae Sunsplash, one of the genre’s most famous festivals. Selassie I Warriors and B Hammond Luciano T Rebel each bring their own unique style to the riddim, giving the project a rich variety of voices. The sound behind One Drop Riddim was shaped by the legendary producer XTERMINATOR. Known for his work with artists such as Sizzla and Luciano, XTERMINATOR (the label founded by Philip “Fatis” Burrell) played a key role in the 1990s roots reggae revival. His productions are known for their heavy basslines and spiritual energy, which are clearly heard throughout this release.
