RUNNING TIMES RIDDIM produced by DON BEN PRODUCTIONS 2014
Running Times Overview
If you love reggae sound system culture, the Running Times Riddim from 2014 is a release you should know. The riddim’s one drop base gives it a classic roots feeling, made for big speakers and open-air dances. This steady, deep rhythm is what keeps reggae alive on the sound system scene, letting the bassline and drum patterns drive the energy. The culture arranger played a key part, shaping the flow and helping each artist’s message shine. Behind it all is DON BEN PRODUCTIONS, a label known for roots reggae with a positive message. Don Ben has worked with acts like Uprising Roots Band, and their productions have reached reggae fans worldwide, especially through digital platforms. Running Times Riddim brings together strong voices. Exile Di Brave’s “Give A Little Get More” stands out, as he is known for his conscious lyrics and work with EDB Entertainment. Hefla Nyah, with “First And The Last,” adds his unique vocal style. Iba Mahr, who made waves with “Diamond Sox,” delivers “Bless My Soul Jah.” There’s a powerful group effort on “Running Times” with Iba Mahr, Soul, Misshigh, Indecka, Hefla Nyah, Princess Tundah, and Exile Di Brave. Indecka’s “Rescue,” Misshigh’s “To Be Free,” Princess Tundah’s “Just Me One,” and Soul — J’s “Jah Love Him Children” each add their own flavor.
