Ordinary Man Overview

The dub cut of Ordinary Man Riddim came together in the studio with a focus on classic reggae sounds. The production team wanted to keep the original roots vibe alive, so they used traditional instruments and effects. The sound system producer led the session, guiding the musicians to capture the warmth and depth that dub music is known for. The producer, RUDE PRODUCTIONS, has made a name in the reggae scene for blending retro grooves with modern style. The label has released several roots reggae projects and is respected for keeping the foundation sound strong. Each artist brought something special to the riddim. Empress Ayeola delivered her song “Mather Nature” with powerful vocals and a message about the earth. Lutan Fyah, known for tracks like “St. Jago De La Vega,” added his unique energy on “Exit The City.” Phillip Faser and Ras Fraser Jr teamed up for “Gather Around,” bringing harmony and unity to the mix. Gregory Isaacs, a legendary singer famous for his hit “Night Nurse,” gave a heartfelt performance on “Ordinary Man.” Carl Greenidge added to this track with the “Ordinary Man Guitar Solo,” showing his skill as a guitarist. Other highlights from the riddim include “Time Won’t Wait” by Anthony Que and “Sweet Jamaica” by Anthony Que and Tommy Trouble. Each song fit well with the dub cut, keeping the rhythm and message strong. Looking back, this dub version stayed true to reggae’s roots and helped carry its message forward in 2022.
