RESISTANCE RIDDIM produced by NAPEM RECORDS 2019
Resistance Overview
The one drop base is at the heart of reggae music, known for its steady, relaxed rhythm. In 2019, this sound echoed through sound system nights, giving dancers and listeners a familiar groove. The drum hits on the third beat, with bass lines weaving deep patterns underneath. This rhythm creates a warm, inviting vibe that pulls people together, whether in small gatherings or big dance halls. On the Resistance Riddim, several artists brought their voices to this classic base. Echo Minott, known for his 1980s hit "Lazy Body," gives a heartfelt performance on "One Life To Live." His voice fits the riddim perfectly, showing why he remains respected in reggae. Jigsy King And Mwanamke deliver "Ganja Pickney," adding energy and personality. Rayven Amani’s "Black Without Apology" stands out for its strong message and soulful delivery. Da Real Storm performs "Barricades," and Anthony John brings "Hold It Down," both adding their unique styles to the project. Selectors, or DJs, play a key role in reggae culture. They choose tracks like those on Resistance Riddim to set the mood at events, helping fans discover new favorites. The producer behind this project, NAPEM RECORDS, is known for working with artists from across the reggae scene and has built a reputation for quality releases. Their approach keeps the roots sound alive while reaching new listeners. Years later, roots fans still talk about the one drop base from 2019.
