SHANTY TOWN RIDDIM produced by BEVERLEY’S RECORDS 2007
Shanty Town Overview
If you love roots reggae, the Shanty Town Riddim from 2007 is a classic sound you should know. This riddim has a deep, steady groove with a vintage reggae mood, but it feels fresh and alive for the 2000s. The music is perfect for both radio and sound system sessions. Several respected artists brought their own style to this riddim. Ambelique’s “I Like The Way You Walk” stands out with his smooth, soulful voice. Beverley’s Crew delivers strong dub energy on “Shanty Town Dub.” Dennis Alcapone, known for his pioneering deejay style since the 1970s, brings his legendary voice to “D.J. Roll Call.” Desmond Dekker And The Aces, famous for their 1967 hit “007,” add a true roots touch with their version. Joseph Cotton’s “Ship Sail” is another highlight, showing his skill as a veteran reggae singer. The riddim was arranged and released by BEVERLEY'S RECORDS, a label with a long history in Jamaican music. Beverley’s Records helped launch the careers of many reggae stars, including Desmond Dekker. Their classic productions from the 1960s and 1970s are still loved today, and this 2007 release shows they still know how to create real reggae vibes. Shanty Town Riddim is a roots revival—full of energy, history, and true reggae feeling.
