THE BLACK POWER RIDDIM produced by COMPUTER PAUL 2014
The Black Power Overview
In reggae music, the one drop base is a special rhythm that started in Jamaica in the 1970s. It became the heartbeat of reggae, giving songs a deep, steady groove. This sound filled dance halls and sound systems across the island, bringing people together to dance and listen. In 2014, producer COMPUTER PAUL brought back this classic feeling with the Black Power Riddim. COMPUTER PAUL is known for his work in reggae and dancehall, producing music for years and running his own Boot Camp label. He is respected for his clean, catchy productions and his ability to bring top artists together. On the Black Power Riddim, big names like Bounty Killer, Alozade, and Hawkeye each have their own song. Bounty Killer’s “Black Power” stands out with his powerful voice and message. Alozade brings his unique style to “My Wish,” while Hawkeye adds energy on “Thug Anthem.” Captain Barkey, another respected voice in dancehall, delivers “Bad Mind,” a song about envy and struggle. Mr Vegas, famous for his catchy hooks, shines on “Thumbs Up.” Other artists also join the riddim, like Terror Fabulous with “What It Takes,” Escobar with “A Di Truth,” Anthony Cruz with “Get Gal Crew,” Vylmark with “Bad Mind Grudgeful,” and Mega with “Samople Whoever.” Each artist brings their own flavor, but the one drop base ties everything together. This riddim shows how the one drop base is still important today. It connects old and new reggae fans, keeping the music’s spirit alive.
