Tell Them Overview
In 1996, the Tell Them Riddim made its mark on the reggae scene. This reggae track base was recorded with great care, and the dub engineer played a key role.

Each instrument was given space to breathe, and the reverb and echo effects gave the music a deep, rootsy feel. The artists who used the Tell Them Riddim helped shape its sound. Emperor recorded "Tell Them," adding a thoughtful vocal style that matched the steady rhythm. Lady Saw brought her own energy with "Glory To Be God."

This track highlighted the riddim’s smooth groove and allowed listeners to focus on the production. All together, the Tell Them Riddim captured the spirit of reggae in 1996.
