RESERVOIR RIDDIM produced by YOUNG VIBEZ PRODUCTIONS 2012
Reservoir Overview
The journey of the Reservoir Riddim dub cut started in the creative heart of Jamaica’s reggae scene. At the center was the culture arranger, who shaped the riddim’s deep roots sound, blending classic reggae basslines with modern touches. The process was careful and inspired, making sure each layer in the dub version held true to reggae’s foundation while giving space for fresh energy. YOUNG VIBEZ PRODUCTIONS, the label behind the release, played a key role. Founded in the late 2000s, the label quickly earned a reputation for crisp production and a talent for combining new voices with established names. Their riddims have reached wide audiences, with millions of streams and a steady presence in reggae charts. Their focus on social themes has made their catalog stand out in the crowded dancehall and reggae landscape. The dub cut laid the groundwork for a powerful lineup of artists. Bugle’s “Tell Me” brought thoughtful lyrics and a steady flow, while Jahmiel’s “Money Is Not All” offered a reminder of values beyond material wealth. Laden’s “Paper Chaser” added motivation for the hustlers, and Popcaan’s “Cyaah Believe” and “Can't Believe It” delivered his signature mix of melody and grit. Propa Fade’s “Everything Inna Life” reflected on life’s ups and downs, Versatile’s “Born Me A Hustle” captured street ambition, Vybrant’s “Dirt Poor” spoke for the underprivileged, and Zamunda’s “Love It” brought soulful warmth. From studio to sound system, the Reservoir Riddim dub cut has remained a strong foundation in reggae, holding its place as a classic in the genre’s history.
