Target Riddim produced by John John Productions 2009
Target Overview
In 2009, a new reggae riddim brought a fresh energy to the scene. The musical backdrop had a deep, rolling bassline and crisp drums that gave it a classic reggae feel. Its rhythm was both steady and lively, making it perfect for artists to add their own style. The sound was clean, with echoing effects that made the tracks stand out in any dance or on the radio. Sizzla used this riddim for his song "Children Crying," adding his powerful voice and conscious lyrics. Sizzla is known for his album "Da Real Thing," which is one of the best-selling reggae albums of the 2000s. Vybz Kartel gave the riddim a streetwise twist with "Bank Inna Me Pocket." Kartel is famous for his influence on dancehall and his album "King of the Dancehall," which reached the Billboard Reggae Albums chart. Capleton brought his fiery style to the track "Trust," showing why he is called the "Fireman" in reggae music. Elephant Man delivered high energy with "Rapid," matching his reputation for lively performances and dance anthems. Behind these songs, John John Productions played a key role. The label, led by Lloyd "John John" James Jr., is known for shaping modern reggae and dancehall. John John Productions has produced hits for many top artists and helped keep the reggae sound fresh in the 2000s. This riddim remains a strong part of reggae’s legacy from 2009.
