Rope in Riddim produced by Various Labels 1981-1999
Rope In Overview
The dub cut of the Rope In Riddim brings a deep roots style with steady bass and easy, meditative grooves. Its mood is calm but powerful, with classic reggae horns weaving through the mix. This sound takes you straight to the heart of 1999, when roots reggae was finding new life. Beenie Man shines on "Try Some Hustling," bringing his energy and style. This was a big year for Beenie Man, who had already won a MOBO Award in 1998. Brain & Tony Gold deliver smooth harmonies on "Body Angel," adding a soulful touch. Buju Banton’s "Why Buju Love You" shows his strong voice and storytelling, while Buju Banton And Tony Rebel join forces for "A So," a tune full of unity and vibes. Cocoa Tea & Shabba Ranks, both legends in their own right, team up for "Love Me." Shabba Ranks is well known for his Grammy-winning dancehall hits, and Cocoa Tea’s sweet voice is always a favorite. The riddim’s foundation comes from classic tracks like Cornell Campbell’s "Rope In." The project was guided by the producer Various Labels, a name known for bringing together reggae’s best voices since the early 1980s. Various Labels has a long history of shaping reggae compilations and keeping the roots alive. This dub cut kept the roots reggae spirit strong in 1999 and remains a favorite for fans looking for that classic sound.
