Rain And Thunder Overview

DIOP SIDE RECORDS is a reggae label known for keeping the roots of the genre alive. The label has worked with both new and established artists, building a strong name in European and international reggae scenes. In 2006, DIOP SIDE RECORDS brought together a special project that mixed culture and soul: the Rain And Thunder Riddim collection. The album features Bush Chemists, a UK-based group famous for their deep dub sound. Their track, "Rain And Thunder," sets the mood with heavy bass and thoughtful rhythms. General D, a pioneering Portuguese reggae artist, adds his unique voice to "Give Thanks." General D is known for being one of the first to bring reggae in Portuguese to a wider audience. Horace Martin, a respected Jamaican singer, delivers "Long Time." Martin is known for his classic song "Shock Dem" and has had a steady career since the 1980s. Kenny Knots, another UK reggae artist, brings a smooth vibe with "Sweet Life." King Kong, a dancehall veteran who worked with King Tubby and scored hits like "Trouble Again," performs "This Train." Other voices on the album include Little Dany with "Dis Leurs," Lyricson on "My Wife," and Nerious Joseph with "Famine." Each artist brings their own style, but together, the collection is a strong example of reggae’s timeless energy in 2006.
