The Black History Riddim produced by Maximum Sound 2009
The Black History Overview
In 2009, the Black History Riddim brought a fresh energy to reggae sessions. The journey began with a foundation built on classic reggae rhythms, shaped by a team of musicians who respected the genre’s roots. At the center was producer Frenchie, who runs the influential label Maximum Sound. Since the mid-1990s, Maximum Sound has been known for blending traditional reggae with modern sounds, working with both established and rising artists. Frenchie’s vision for the Black History Riddim was to create a sound that felt both authentic and new. The riddim’s release saw a powerful lineup of vocalists. Ashaudi delivered a strong message with "Ease The Gun Thing," urging peace in the community. Dennis Makaca’s "My People Why" offered thoughtful lyrics about unity and struggle. Flo G, known for his work in the Italian reggae scene, shared real-life stories with "Ghetto Life." Franchino brought heartfelt emotion to "Mamma Love," a tribute to mothers everywhere. Ipeeto’s "Days Like This" captured hope and resilience. Each artist added their own style, but the riddim kept the collection unified. Together, these songs reflected the spirit of reggae—speaking out, lifting up, and remembering history. The Black History Riddim stood out in 2009, helping to keep reggae’s message strong for new listeners and longtime fans alike.
