Praise Ye Jah Riddim – Aquarius Productions

PRAISE YE JAH RIDDIM produced by AQUARIUS PRODUCTIONS 1998

Praise Ye Jah Overview

In 1998, the "Praise Ye Jah Riddim" compilation appeared in Jamaica, adding a fresh sound to the reggae scene. This collection brought together a small but strong lineup of artists, each adding their own voice to the project. Don Yute’s track, "Judgement Day," is a highlight on the riddim. Don Yute was already known in the reggae and dancehall world, especially after his hit "Row da Boat" with Wayne Wonder in 2005. In "Judgement Day," his style fits perfectly with the conscious tone of the compilation. Another key song is "Version" by Praise Ye Jah. This dub cut stands out for its deep, thoughtful sound. It carries the message of reggae, using echo and space to let the music breathe. The dub version gives listeners a chance to feel the roots of the riddim more clearly. Terry Ganzie’s "Yad Out" brings energy to the set. Terry Ganzie, sometimes called the "Outlaw," made a name for himself in the 1990s with songs like "Welcome the Outlaw." His strong delivery on "Yad Out" matches the positive and conscious mood of the riddim. Behind the scenes, AQUARIUS PRODUCTIONS was the driving force. The label has a long history in Jamaican music, known for producing classic reggae and dancehall since the 1970s. Their experience helped shape the sound, making sure every track fit together. Looking back, the dub version from this release carried reggae’s conscious message in 1998, reminding listeners of the power of roots music.
