RUFF TIMES RIDDIM produced by I-SIGHT RECORDS 2021
Ruff Times Overview
In 2021, the reggae scene welcomed a roots-inspired dub release that stood out for its conscious sound. The journey began in the studio with the sound architect behind the project, carefully crafting a reggae track base that balanced rich rhythm and a steady, relaxed pace. The riddim was built with attention to detail, blending classic reggae elements with a modern touch. At the heart of the release was I-SIGHT RECORDS, a label known for championing peace and unity in reggae music. Based in Jamaica, I-SIGHT RECORDS has a history of supporting roots artists and has gained respect for its authentic approach. The label’s dedication to quality and message-driven music set the tone for the entire project. The riddim became a canvas for several talented artists. Bobby Tenna delivered “Ruff Times,” a song that resonated with listeners for its uplifting message. Sahie brought his unique voice to “No Like Lose,” adding a soulful layer to the release. Jahricio & Aborijah teamed up for “One Life To Live,” emphasizing the importance of making the most of every moment. Joshua Hales contributed “Unification,” highlighting the project’s theme of togetherness. Lutan Fyah, known for his hit “St. Jago De La Vega” and a respected name in reggae, added depth with “No Gold Spoon.” Each artist brought their own style, but all stayed true to the conscious roots of the riddim. This dub release remains a cultural highlight of 2021, uniting artists and listeners through powerful rhythms and positive messages.
