Storm Overview

In 1991, the Storm Riddim brought fresh roots energy to the reggae scene. The project was guided by JAMMYS RECORDS, a label known for shaping the sound of digital reggae. Run by producer King Jammy, JAMMYS RECORDS had already made a big mark with hits like Wayne Smith’s “Under Mi Sleng Teng.” The label’s experience with foundation rhythms helped make this recording stand out. The roots selector played a key role in keeping the classic reggae sound alive. By choosing deep, conscious rhythms, the selector set the tone for the artists to build on. The recording process focused on live instruments and authentic studio techniques, giving the riddim a warm, organic feel. Admiral Bailey brought his unique style to the track “Chatty Chatty Mouth.” He was already well known for hits like “Big Belly Man,” and his confident delivery gave the riddim a strong voice. Dean Fraser, one of Jamaica’s top saxophonists, added a smooth touch with “Champaigne Sax.” Fraser has worked with many reggae legends and is respected for his rich, melodic sound. Hugo Barrington contributed “Lodi Lodi,” keeping the roots spirit alive with thoughtful lyrics and a steady flow. Leroy Gibbons added emotion with “Missing You,” a song that showed his soulful side. Gibbons is known for his classic lovers rock tracks and has been a favorite among reggae fans. This recording proved that collaboration and foundation rhythms could keep reggae strong.
