Pray Riddim produced by Laidley Production and The Yellow Drum Studio 2024
Pray Overview
The creation of the Pray Riddim in 2024 brought a fresh rocksteady vibe to reggae. In the studio, musicians worked closely together, building the rhythm section with live drums and deep bass. The groove came alive as the band layered warm guitar skanks and classic keys, capturing the roots feel that defines the riddim. A key part of the sound was the dub engineer’s touch. Using vintage effects and creative mixing, the engineer added echo and reverb to give each track a spacious, hypnotic quality. This dub approach helped the riddim stand out in roots sessions across the year. Laidley Production, known for their work in conscious reggae, teamed up with The Yellow Drum Studio. The studio has a reputation for high-quality roots recordings and has hosted sessions for several respected reggae artists. Together, they shaped the Pray Riddim into a project with lasting impact. The artists brought their own energy and message to the riddim. Anart’s “All We Need Is Love” opens with heartfelt vocals and a call for unity. Mariah Ngoma delivers “Watch Over Me,” a song filled with spiritual hope. Leo Laidley, who has also worked behind the scenes as a producer, steps forward with “Real One,” showing his versatility as both artist and producer. Turbulence, known for his hit “Notorious,” adds strength with “Everybody Wants A Good Life,” bringing his signature conscious lyrics. Higher Trod’s “Fire Mi Burn” closes with a powerful roots anthem, keeping the tradition alive. This collection quickly became a favorite in roots reggae circles, marking Pray Riddim as one of the standout cultural releases of 2024.
