Ride Natty Ride Riddim – Island, Starboy

Ride Natty Ride produced by Alex Sadkin, Major Lazer, Picard Brothers for Island, Starboy in 1979

1979’s Ride Natty Ride Riddim gathers Bob Marley and The Wailers’ Ride Natty Ride and Ride Dis Yah Dub alongside WizKid and Major Lazer’s Naughty Ride, tying a classic Island-era roots cut to a later crossover update. The original is linked to Bob Marley and The Wailers and Alex Sadkin, with Island handling the release in that period, and it comes from the Survival era, one of Marley’s most political albums. That mix of original and reworked material gives the riddim a clear bridge from late-’70s reggae to a more modern dancehall-pop angle.
