PARTY RIDDIM 2009

Party Overview

The journey of the Party Riddim began in the hands of a skilled roots craftsman, whose vision was to create an instrumental that echoed the spirit of classic reggae. Crafted with deep bass, steady drums, and bright horns, the riddim soon found its way into studios and dancehalls. Its sound was both modern and rooted, drawing attention from artists who wanted to add their own voice. The first to voice the riddim was Black Uhuru, a group known for their Grammy-winning album "Anthem." Their track "Party" brought a sense of celebration and unity, setting the tone for the compilation. Chukki Star followed with "Run Dem Out," adding his UK reggae flavor. Chukki Star is recognized for his powerful lyrics and presence in the British reggae scene. General Levy, famous for the jungle classic "Incredible," delivered "Show Me Your Nectar 2." His energetic style brought a new dimension to the riddim. Prezident Brown, with his song "Rasta Jack," continued the roots tradition, known for his conscious lyrics and steady career in reggae music. Sweetie Irie joined the lineup with "Dutty Money," bringing his dancehall experience and UK sound. As the riddim made its way from studios to sound systems, it became a staple at reggae nights. Each artist's unique contribution helped shape the overall feel of the release.
