RUDEBWOY BE NICE RIDDIM produced by MAXIMUM SOUND 2012
Rudebwoy Be Nice Overview
In 2012, reggae music was finding new ways to honor its roots while sounding fresh. The rocksteady flow on the Rudebwoy Be Nice Riddim stood out for its conscious sound. This style, known for its steady tempo and thoughtful lyrics, brought back memories of reggae’s golden era. The riddim’s deep bass and smooth energy helped create a feeling that was both classic and modern. A big part of the sound came from the dub engineer. By using special effects like echo and reverb, the dub engineer gave each track a unique, spacious feel. These techniques let the instruments breathe and made the music feel alive, especially the horns and bass. The dub influence is clear, giving the riddim a timeless vibe. The producer behind this project is MAXIMUM SOUND, a well-known label founded by Frenchie in the 1990s. MAXIMUM SOUND has released many respected reggae and dancehall riddims over the years and is known for working with top artists in the genre. Their releases have reached listeners around the world, helping to spread reggae’s message. On this riddim, Captain Sinbad brings his classic style to "Capital Offense," showing why he is respected in reggae circles. Vegas, famous for his hit "Heads High," delivers "Jamaica Nice," adding his signature energy. Tarrus Riley, who won the EME Award for Male Vocalist of the Year in 2008, shines on "Prophecy Fulfill." Yami Bolo, known for his spiritual lyrics, offers "Jah Is The Fire," keeping the roots tradition strong. Together, these artists and the MAXIMUM SOUND team created a set that truly echoes the spirit of 2012 roots reggae.
