SERIOUS JOKE RIDDIM produced by ARROWS RECORDS 2001
Serious Joke Overview
When the Serious Joke Riddim dropped in 2001, reggae fans quickly embraced its rootsy sound. The riddim’s steady rocksteady flow gave both singers and deejays a strong foundation, bringing back memories of classic reggae while offering something fresh for a new generation. Three respected artists stood out on this project. Luciano delivered “Father Will You Please,” showing once again why he is called “The Messenger” in reggae. Luciano is known for his uplifting lyrics and has released important albums like “Where There Is Life,” which helped make him an international reggae star in the 1990s. George Nooks added his smooth voice to “Call On Me.” Nooks has built a long career in reggae and gospel, and is famous for his hit “God Is Standing By,” which reached number one on the Jamaican charts in 2001. His contribution to the Serious Joke Riddim brought a soulful energy that fans appreciated. Glen Washington’s “You Should Know By Now” brought warmth and heartfelt delivery. Washington is known for his consistent work in reggae, especially after his breakthrough album “Brother to Brother.” The foundation of this project was built by ARROWS RECORDS, a label with a strong reputation in Jamaican music. ARROWS RECORDS was founded by the late Sylvan Morris and his son Omar Morris, and became known for producing hits in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
