Rise & Shine Riddim produced by Marshall Neeko 2024
Rise & Shine Overview
In 2024, the Rise and Shine Riddim brought a fresh roots sound to reggae fans. This set mixed strong messages with classic reggae energy. The riddim’s heavy percussion and deep bassline gave it a real foundation feel, standing out from other reggae releases of the same year, which often leaned more towards digital or dancehall styles. Rise and Shine Riddim kept the roots spirit alive, reminding listeners of reggae’s cultural power. Each track on the riddim brought something unique. Dj Virus delivered “Ghetto Youths,” a song that speaks about struggles and hopes in the community. Isha Blender’s “Freedom” added a soulful voice for change, while Everton Blender’s “Take My Space” stood out with his well-known positive lyrics. Everton Blender is famous for his hit “Lift Up Your Head,” a song that reached reggae fans worldwide and helped define conscious reggae in the 1990s. Ras Lee’s “Enemies” brought a thoughtful message about trust and unity, fitting perfectly with the riddim’s roots vibe. The set closed with “Rise & Shine Riddim Version” by Marshall Neeko, the producer behind the project. Marshall Neeko is known in the reggae scene for his work with the French label Blackboard Jungle and for producing several roots and dub releases that have gained respect in Europe. Even now, fans still play this instrumental as a roots memory of 2024. Compared to other riddims of its era, Rise and Shine Riddim stayed true to the roots tradition, focusing on message and live feel. It’s a tribute to reggae’s lasting strength.
