ROCKING TIME RIDDIM produced by IRIE ITES 2007
Rocking Time Overview
In 2007, reggae fans got a fresh sound with the Rocking Time Riddim. This set brought together classic reggae rhythms and blended them with touches of culture and soul. The foundation rhythm in this collection is true to roots reggae, but listeners can also hear hints of dub and other styles. The heavy bass and relaxed tempo help the riddim fit easily into both radio playlists and big sound system sessions. Artists brought their own styles and messages to the riddim. Chezidek, known for his hit “Leave De Trees,” gives a strong performance on “Who I Am.” Conrad Crystal and Sugar Roy, a duo respected for their roots and culture songs, add their voices to “This Train.” Fantan Mojah, who had success with his album “Hail the King” in 2005, delivers energy and truth on “So Many Problems.” Lorenzo’s “Gun Play” and Lutan Fyah’s “A Lie” both share conscious lyrics and smooth delivery. The roots selector’s choices help each track stand out, making sure the message and music stay clear. The producer behind the project, IRIE ITES, is a well-known reggae label from France. IRIE ITES has worked with many big names in reggae and is respected for keeping the roots sound alive. This 2007 release is a good example of how reggae can mix old and new, culture and soul.
