That Was Then Overview
If you love reggae from the late 1990s, the "That Was Then Riddim" album collection is a strong example of the era’s spirit. Released in 1998, it gave young singers a real chance to show their talent and message. The one drop base on this collection stands out. It is deep and steady, holding the songs together and letting the vocals shine. Compared to other albums from that time, which sometimes leaned towards dancehall or digital sounds, this collection keeps a classic reggae feel with its strong bass and drum patterns. Alley Cat brings energy with "What A Woman." He is known for his hit "Watchie Pum" in the dancehall scene. Determine’s "Holly Gyow" shows his signature style; he is also famous for his powerful lyrics on tracks like "Kette Drum." Norris Man’s "I Enjoy Life" is uplifting, and Norris Man later found success with the song "Persistence," which became an anthem for many reggae fans. Instrumental work is also important here. Sly Dunbar And Brian Grant play "Yogsta Shuffle," and Sly Dunbar is a legendary drummer, half of the Sly & Robbie duo, known worldwide for shaping reggae’s sound. Yogie’s "That Was Then" and Yogie And Anthony B’s "That Was Then Part 2" bring a modern touch, while keeping close to reggae roots. FIWI MUSIC produced this collection. The label is known for supporting young talent and releasing works that respect reggae’s tradition.
