Run Dem Ah Run Overview

The one drop rhythm is a classic foundation in reggae music. It features a steady drumbeat with the snare and kick coming together on the third beat of each bar. This style has powered many reggae and dub tracks over the years, giving songs their deep, rolling feel. In 2022, the reggae scene saw a strong dub release shaped by the producer ROUGH GROOVES. Known for bringing fresh energy to reggae productions, ROUGH GROOVES has worked with several established artists and helped to keep the roots sound alive in modern times. This release brought together respected names from reggae and dancehall. Mykal Rose, famous for his Grammy-winning work with Black Uhuru, delivered two standout tracks: "Run Dem a Run" and "Gold Mine." His unique voice and style added depth to the riddim. Robert Lee, a veteran of the reggae scene, contributed "Undertaker," showing his steady presence in the genre. Echo Minott, known for hits like "Lazy Body," gave the project "Sensitive," bringing his smooth delivery and experience. Johnny P, a dancehall artist with a long career, added "Ah You Body," giving the riddim a different flavor. The dub production carried strong roots vibes, blending classic reggae sounds with modern dub techniques. Each artist brought their own approach, but the tracks all fit together, thanks to the consistent one drop rhythm and ROUGH GROOVES’ guiding hand. This release is remembered as one of reggae’s strongest moments in 2022, showing how the genre’s roots can still sound fresh and powerful.
