THE GENERATION RIDDIM produced by BUTLER HOUSE 2022
The Generation Overview
In 2022, reggae fans found new energy in the Generation Riddim, a project built on the classic one drop beat. The one drop rhythm is the heartbeat of roots reggae, giving songs a steady, deep pulse that connects old-school reggae to new generations. This style has long been a favorite for selectors in Jamaica and abroad, who use it to keep dances grounded in roots tradition. The Generation Riddim was produced by BUTLER HOUSE, a team known for their careful approach to roots reggae. They have worked with both new and legendary artists, helping to keep reggae’s foundation strong. Their riddims often feature clean production and a respect for the genre’s history, making them popular with selectors and listeners alike. On this project, each artist brings a unique voice. Jah Vinci delivers “What Goes Up,” adding his expressive vocals. Jah Vinci is known for his work with Vybz Kartel and for songs like “Watch Your Friends.” Delly Ranx, respected for his influence as both artist and producer, offers “Give Thanks.” Admiral Tibett, a veteran in conscious reggae, performs “No Hypocrites.” His career stretches back to the 1980s, with hits like “Serious Time.” Pinchers, famous for the hit “Bandelero,” gives us “Badmind,” while Lion Strength’s “Blessings” adds uplifting lyrics. Other artists on the riddim include Mystic Soul with “Fantasy,” Luciano with “Generation Curse,” Ras Fraser Jr with “Hitman Work,” Turbulence with “Heartless,” and DJ SK with “Ready Again.” The Generation Riddim kept the roots alive, blending tradition with fresh voices and proving that the one drop beat still moves reggae forward.
