REPENTANCE RIDDIM produced by TUFF NUT 2016
Repentance Overview
The Repentance Riddim, released in 2016, stands out for its strong reggae roots sound. The riddim was produced by TUFF NUT, a name known in the reggae scene for crafting authentic reggae frameworks. TUFF NUT’s work often respects the classic reggae style, and Repentance Riddim is no different. The track base uses live-sounding drums, steady basslines, and classic guitar skanks. This keeps the music close to the roots reggae tradition, even as new styles were growing in 2016. When compared to other roots reggae drops from that year, Repentance Riddim feels more loyal to the original reggae structure. While some riddims in 2016 blended heavier dancehall or digital elements, this one holds to the classic sound. The selector’s role is important here, as roots selectors often choose tracks that keep the reggae culture alive. Repentance Riddim fits well in roots reggae sets, offering a steady groove for selectors and listeners. On this riddim, three artists stand out: J Dot Manswell, Marley Palmer, and Patriotic. J Dot Manswell is known for the song “Jah Is Coming Soon,” which has gained respect in reggae circles for its uplifting message. Marley Palmer brings his style to “Got No Love,” a song that shows his smooth vocal delivery. Patriotic’s “Judgement Time” adds a powerful roots message to the mix. Overall, Repentance Riddim is a strong example of reggae’s lasting power in 2016.
