RIPPLE RIDDIM produced by MASTER TOUCH RECORDS 2013
Ripple Overview
The Ripple Riddim is still remembered today for its strong reggae foundation and classic sound. Many fans look back at this 2013 release as a moment when new voices in reggae got a real chance to shine. The riddim’s steady groove and deep bass lines made it popular among both DJs and collectors. Looking at the artists, each brought their own energy to the project. Ever Clean’s “Ras Imaric” stood out for its conscious lyrics and roots style. First Choice delivered “Lava Lava,” which showed their unique vocal touch. How Dem A Gwarn’s “Infinity” added another layer, with a sound that fit well into the reggae scene of the time. Lion Is Sleeping performed “Lenny Banton,” and Phenomenal contributed “Ras Strika.” Each song added to the overall unity of the collection. The track “Special Kind Of Love” by Shay Hil also found its place among reggae listeners, helping to round out the album’s variety. Some of these artists had already made their mark. For example, First Choice is known for their earlier work in reggae harmony groups, and Ever Clean had built a reputation for thoughtful lyrics. These songs gave young singers a bigger stage and helped them reach new audiences. Behind it all was MASTER TOUCH RECORDS. The label has a history of supporting roots reggae and has produced several well-received projects over the years. Their careful production on Ripple Riddim helped bring out the best in each artist and gave the album its lasting impact. Today, this album collection stands as proof of reggae’s strength and creative spirit in 2013.
